The Goldvreneli
Switzerland’s best-known and at the same time least-known coin
This much can be revealed:
It is considered the largest and most beautiful gold coin of the Swiss Confederation and is the enlarged image of the 10-franc Goldvreneli. This gold coin was not intended as a means of payment but was presented as a special minting by the Swiss Confederation as an honorary gift and diplomatic present. There are various stories about the 5,000 pieces that were originally minted, but it is certain that not all of the 100-franc coins came into circulation. Today, well-preserved coins fetch between CHF 10,000 and 20,000 at auction.
