Helvetia Head Coins

The Vreneli, Vrenelli or Helvetia Head coins were issued from 1897 until 1949, with some exceptions. Coins produced after 1936 are all restrikes.

Edge of Coin

The edge features engraved stars, with the lettering:

AD LEGEM ANNI MCMXXXI

Obverse

The coin obverse features a female head with plaited hair, a garland of flowers (Edelweiss), with mountains behind, and the inscription HELVETIA above modelled by Fritz Ulisse Landry.

Reverse

The reverse has a swiss cross on a more ornate shield superimposed on an oak branch with ribbons. The value 20 FR appears at the sides of the shield, and the date below. This type was issued from 1897 to 1935, then again in 1947 and 1949.
