| Reverse description | The Swiss federal coat of arms — a white cross on a red shield — is depicted centrally in high relief, flanked and backed by two symmetrical stems of alpenrose (Rhododendron ferrugineum) with their characteristic blossoms and foliage. The country name 'SWITZERLAND' arcs along the upper periphery, while the date '2024' is inscribed at the lower portion of the field. The composition is framed by a raised border 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.
