The Twenty 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 coins are non-circulating legal tender made for collectors. They are issued in topical series, celebrating various aspects of Swiss heritage or nature.
The edge is usually 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 Titlis Aerial Cableway coin is the second release in a trilogy on the theme of “Swiss aerial cableways”.
Swissmint says about it: With its more than 3000-meter-high summit, the Titlis is one of Switzerland's most internationally renowned excursion destinations. With the new silver coin Swissmint celebrates the aerial cableway Titlis with its new construction project TITLIS 3020, which will create a unique selling proposition for Engelberg and the region. |
