| Obverse description | Central field depicts a detailed architectural rendering of the Schilthorn summit station complex, with the rocky alpine peak rising dramatically behind the structure. The denomination '20 FR' appears in large characters in the lower field, with the mint mark 'B' and fineness '999.9' inscribed to the right. The circular legend 'CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA' arcs around the upper periphery, punctuated by a small Swiss cross, while the date '2024' runs vertically along the right margin. |

| Additional information |
The Schilthorn summit in the Bernese Oberland achieved unlikely global fame when it served as the villain's lair in the 1969 Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service — the Piz Gloria revolving restaurant was still under construction when filming began, with the production partially funding its completion. Swissmint has issued a recurring series of landscape-themed commemoratives tied to Swiss Alpine sites, and the Schilthorn fits squarely into that program.
KM#209 places this among the modern Swiss commemorative sequence rather than the circulating series.
