Commemorating a Century of the Swiss Franc

To commemorate 100 years of the Swiss Franc (CHF) in Liechtenstein, CIT has released a new coin design crafted in smartminting® Ultra Deep Relief. The coins depict a three-dimensional coloured model of the Rhine Valley with topographical accuracy on the reverse, symbolising the bond between Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

Small Swiss crosses feature in the background on the left side of the coin, representing the Swiss territory. Similarly, the Liechtenstein territory on the right is further represented by small Ducal hats. Neighbouring municipalities are engraved on the outer edge of the design, with the Principality’s coat of arms displayed on the obverse of the coin.

Four silver coins have been produced – a 1kg 100 CHF, 5oz 25 CHF, 2oz 10 CHF, and 1oz 5 CHF coin – with each featuring the coloured model of the Rhine Valley. Two gold coins have also been released – a 1oz 100 CHF and 10 CHF 0.5g coin – with a less-embellished design depicting the territory of Liechtenstein produced for the latter.
