About the Vreneli Gold Coin

"Vreneli" is a Swiss-German diminutive of Verena — the name given to the young woman on the obverse. Designed by Fritz Ulysse Landry in 1897, the portrait became Switzerland's defining gold coin for over five decades. The reverse shows the Swiss federal cross with the denomination. Approximately 58 million pieces were struck across all dates, yet firm collector demand keeps premiums stable. As a Latin Monetary Union coin, the Vreneli is VAT-exempt across the EU and trades at a consistent premium at all major European bullion dealers. See the full gold coin range at GoldInvest24.
