100 Years of the Swiss Franc – a century of currency stability

In 2024, the Principality of Liechtenstein celebrated a remarkable anniversary: on April 11, 1924, the Landtag decided to introduce the Swiss franc as the official national currency – laying the foundation for the country's present-day prosperity and economic stability. To mark this occasion, the government issued a small emission of two gold and four silver coins. The 0.5 g gold coin offered here forms the opening piece in gold. The fact that Liechtenstein only very rarely issues its own gold coins underscores the exceptional nature of this issue.

A design that connects two countries

The obverse shows the outline of the Principality of Liechtenstein from a bird's-eye view. The neighboring Swiss territory to the left is filled with a fine pattern of small Swiss crosses, while numerous Liechtenstein princely crowns line the border to the right. The inscription “100 JAHRE SCHWEIZER FRANKEN IM FÜRSTENTUM LIECHTENSTEIN” (“100 Years of the Swiss Franc in the Principality of Liechtenstein”) runs around the edge, along with the years “1924 – 2024”. The reverse bears the crowned coat of arms, framed by the inscriptions “FÜRSTENTUM LIECHTENSTEIN” and “ZEHN FRANKEN”. The matte background and the brilliantly polished design lines are typical of the Proof minting quality – the elaborate technique that turns every piece into a small masterpiece of the minter's art.

Why physical gold – the substance behind the design

Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has outlived every paper currency over the millennia. It possesses intrinsic value, has never been worth zero, and reliably protects against the gradual loss of purchasing power. As a proven inflation hedge and reliable crisis protection, physical precious metal offers preservation of value across generations. It is no coincidence that the world's central banks hold vast gold reserves. Small amounts of gold add up over the years into considerable wealth – easily tradable, recognized worldwide, and liquid at all times.

Investment gold with a personal touch

Despite the personal occasion, what you acquire here is not a mere keepsake, but genuine, minted fine gold. This is exactly what makes this issue such a fitting idea if you wish to give a real gold investment as a gift – for example, for a birthday, christening, or Christmas. What is given is not a fleeting object, but an asset that endures. The mintage, strictly limited to 5,000 pieces, lends this fine gold an additional sought-after rarity. For investors who wish to combine substance with history, this issue is therefore a real find among our collector's coins – and at the same time fully-fledged investment gold in your hands.
