| Reverse description | A full-length standing figure of Helvetia, the allegorical personification of Switzerland, is depicted at centre, robed in classical drapery with a floral wreath in her flowing hair. She holds a lowered sword in her right hand and rests her left hand upon an oval shield bearing the Swiss cross, standing atop rocky ground. The commemorative legend 175 JAHRE SCHWEIZER FRANKEN arcs across the upper field, with the founding year 1850 to the left and the current year 2025 to the right of the figure. The design is rendered in high relief with finely detailed chasing, echoing the classic Helvetia motif used on Swiss coinage since the nineteenth century. |

| Additional information |
The Democratic Republic of the Congo has issued a substantial volume of small-format gold coins since the early 2000s, primarily targeting the collector and gift market rather than domestic circulation. Most are produced under contract by European mints — Switzerland's Argor-Heraeus being the most commonly associated facility — with the DRC lending its issuing authority to pieces that will never see Congolese soil.
At 0.5 g of .9999 fine gold, the economics are straightforward: bullion premium dominates entirely.
