Twenty Francs 2023 Federal Constitution, Coin from Switzerland - detailed information

The obverse features at its centre the standing figure of Helvetia, the female personification of the Swiss Federation. She wears a robe and holds an olive branch in her right hand. Her left hand rests on a shield carrying the Swiss Cross, with thin vertical lines ("heraldic hatching) indicating its red colour. In the left field, the symbol of peace - a flying dove holding a small olive branch in its beak.

Around above, the inscription CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA (translated from Latin: Confederation of Switzerland); it is interrupted by a small Swiss Cross. The inscription is followed by the year of issue 2023, after which a small letter B represents the mint mark of Swissmint (ex Bern Mint).

Below the year (on the shield), the coin’s silver fineness of 999.9.

Centrally below, on two lines the face value and denomination (twenty francs) abbreviated as 20 FR.

At centre, the reverse design features four ears of wheat inside a circle; on the left, a flying dove with an olive branch in its beak; on the right, two hands as if in a handshake.

From an eye form above, rays radiate into the background.

Around the rim, the words "Federal Constitution" in the four official languages of Switzerland, separated by Swiss crosses: CONSTITUTION FÉDÉRALE (French), CONSTITUZIONE FEDERALE (Italian), BUNDESVERFASSUNG (German), and CONSTITUZIUN FEDERALA (Romansh).

Above, the anniversary dates 1848 - 2023.

In small letters in the inner circle below right, the designer's name P. SALZMANN.

Release date: 1 July 2023.

Swissmint lists 10,000 Brilliant Uncirculated coins, and 3,250 proofs. Mintage of the boxed proofs is listed as 3,000 + 250 with signed certificates, and separately there are 1,000 in two-coin sets with a gold coin, so presumably those 1,000 are included in the total proof mintage of 3,250.
