A modern restrike of the Swiss 20 Francs Vreneli type, here rendered in silver with gold plating rather than the original 0.900 gold alloy. The Vreneli series ran from 1897 to 1949, with the Swiss federal mint producing official restrikes of certain dates well into the late 20th century — a practice that muddied the waters for date collectors considerably. This 2026 piece sits outside that official restrike tradition entirely.
