3455) The new "Switzerland" silver coin offers a fascinating representation of the country in all its facets. The design is characterised by an eye for detail, with numerous symbols representing Switzerland's diversity and unity: Date of Coin issue: 12.09.2024: 

On 12.09.1848, modern Switzerland came into being with the Federal Constitution, as a federal state created by the union of the cantons. 

This date is dedicated to the issue of this coin, which pays tribute to Switzerland's federal structure. 

This structure is crucial to Switzerland's innovative strength, dialogue and national cohesion. 

The Coin:

This special coin symbolises Switzerland and all its cantons. 

The Reverse of the CHF 20 Silver Coin depicts mountains evoking the Swiss Alps, a railway in reference to the dense rail network, the Edelweiss being an emblematic Alpine flower, a quartz crystal echoing the mineral wealth of the Alps, and a bridge symbolising technical infrastructure. 

Cogwheels refer to watchmaking, and a cheese symbolises the famous Swiss cheese-making tradition. 

The flags of the 26 cantons are shown on the Obverse. 

The 20g special coin "Switzerland", made of silver 999, stands out among other things with the impressively detailed reverse. 

Additionally, the face value of "CHF 20" is shown.  

The Swissmint Boutique will be open for the first time on 12 September to sell the special "Switzerland" coin.
