| Obverse description | Within a plain field, the denomination is displayed in two lines at centre: the currency abbreviation 'FR' above the large numeral '25', rendered in bold relief. Immediately below the numeral appears a Swiss cross in raised relief. The mint mark 'B' is placed at the bottom of the field. The circular legend 'CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA' runs along the upper periphery, separated from the field by a raised rim. |

| Additional information |
Switzerland's 25-franc gold piece occupies an awkward denominational position that has never quite mapped onto everyday commerce — it exists primarily as a bullion-adjacent collectible, continuing a fractional gold tradition that stretches back to the Helvetic coinage reforms of the 1850s. The Federal Council authorizes these annual issues under the 2000 Federal Coin Act, with Swissmint setting mintage ceilings that rarely come close to being met.
KM#212 is a recent assignment; catalog consolidation for modern Swiss commemoratives has lagged noticeably behind actual issuance.
