In contrast to 1 ounce bullion coins, the Swiss Vreneli (20 Franken) is a historic coin which is attractive for actually having been used as money. Due to the fact that between1897 to 1949 up to 60 million coins were minted, and with only a few low-circulation years, the Swiss Vreneli does not have additional numismatic charge and therefore classififi es as a goldbullion coin. This coin is comparatively lightweight (5,81 gram) and so if needed the Vrenely can easier be utilised than a 1oz coin, just using a fifi ner dosage. The coins face shows a woman‘s bust, and on the back is the Swiss emblem. The name Vreneli derives from the Swiss-German diminutive form for Verena.
