History
Origins of the Vreneli 50 Swiss Francs Gold Coin
Designed by Remo Mascherini, this unique gold Vreneli of 50 Swiss Francs was first issued in 2022.
It has been minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the last mintage of the famous Vreneli 10 francs coin.
History of the 10 francs Vreneli Gold Coin Helvetia
The story of the Vreneli 10 francs coin dates back more than 100 years. It represents the independence and sovereignty of Switzerland. Helvetia, the female personification of Switzerland, is often compared to that of the United States — the Lady Liberty.
The 10-francs gold Vreneli was minted for the last time in 1922. It is the little sister of the legendary 20-francs gold Vreneli and was produced between 1911 and 1922 at the Federal Mint in Bern. However, the thin planchets used and the nature of the relief on the obverse meant that the reverse of the 10-franc Vreneli had to be redesigned for this new 50 Swiss Francs edition.
While the original coin was historically designed by Fritz Landry, the new 50-franc gold coin "100 year anniversary of the last minting of the 10-franc Vreneli" was designed by Remo Mascherini.
Designer: Remo Mascherini
Remo Mascherini was born in Florence, Italy, in 1958 and grew up in Kehrsatz in the canton of Bern after his parents moved to Switzerland. After he finished school, he completed four years of vocational training in engraving under the renowned Bernese relief engraver Klaus Graber.
He also attended the Bern School of Arts and Crafts (now called the School of Design), where he completed courses in engraving, drawing, and three-dimensional design.
Having spent many years working for companies in the packaging and graphic arts industry, he has a wealth of professional experience, particularly in his specialization of relief and steel-plate engraving.
Since 2009, he has been designing his engraving templates and reliefs on a computer using a CAD/CAM system. In 2013, Remo Mascherini took up the post of the engraver at Swissmint.
