The design is simple and heraldic in character, with the floral wreath providing an elegant frame to the face value. |

The 20 Rappen is the oldest unchanged coin design still in Swiss circulation — the Libertas head dates to 1881, and the type has survived two world wars, the introduction of the franc as a decimal currency anchor, and every subsequent monetary reform without a single design revision. Switzerland's political neutrality and monetary conservatism made redesign politically unnecessary and practically unthinkable.
The copper-nickel alloy replaced the original nickel composition in 1881 and has remained fixed ever since. During World War II, several neighboring states debased or suspended coinage entirely; Swiss minting continued uninterrupted throughout.
