One Hundred Francs, Gold Commemorative, Coin Type from Switzerland - detailed information
| ||||
The One Hundred Francs coin is a denomination of the Swiss Franc. Given that Switzerland has four official languages, the Franc has three different names: Franken in German, franc in French and Romansh, and franco in Italian. In regular circulation, the denomination is served by a banknote. These gold coins are non-circulating legal tender made for collectors and struck in proof grade only. They were issued in this format for a short period only, between 1998 and 2000. The edge is inscribed with the motto DOMINUS PROVIDEBIT (The Lord will provide - a quote from the Bible, Genesis 22, 8), and thirteen stars representing the original thirteen cantons of the Swiss Federation. The composition of the metal is 90% gold and 10% copper. Note that there was an unrelated earlier gold 100 Francs coin issued in 1925 only. | ||||
