| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized design dominated by a large aircraft propeller rendered in high relief at the centre of the field, its three blades extending dynamically across the coin's surface. To the left, a fan-like radiating pattern — evoking the ribbed structure of an early aircraft wing or airship envelope — fills the lower left quadrant. Curved motion lines in the lower right field suggest speed and flight. The circular legend CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA is inscribed along the upper periphery, interrupted at the apex by a small Swiss cross. The date 2025 appears to the right of the legend, and the denomination 20 FR is inscribed at the base of the field, with the Bern mint mark B positioned to its right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene of four hot-air balloons of varying sizes ascending above a mountainous alpine landscape rendered in fine detail. The largest balloon, occupying the lower left, displays a ribbed envelope typical of early aeronautical craft, while the remaining three balloons — one bearing a small flag on its basket — are shown at varying heights, evoking the spirit of Swiss ballooning pioneers. Mountain peaks rise in silhouette across the lower field. The inscription PIONIERE DER SCHWEIZER LUFTFAHRT (Pioneers of Swiss Aviation) is displayed prominently in the upper left portion of the field in a bold, period-style typeface. |
