Gold coin 200 years Swiss Shooting Sports Federation

The special coin celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Swiss Shooting Sports Federation (SSV). The special coin «200 years Swiss Shooting Sports Federation» is made of 900 gold and weighs 11.29 g. The obverse of the coin shows a view of a target through the barrel of a weapon. This view is framed by the years 1824 and 2024, and the anniversary “200 years of the SSV”. The reverse of the gold coin is, like the reverse of the SSV special coin in silver, a historical echo of times gone by: the first forerunner of the later shooting thaler was minted in 1842 with an official value of 4 FR to celebrate the shooting festival in Chur. The reverse of the “200 years of the SSV” special coin again features elements of this first coin minted to mark a shooting festival. On the reverse, clockwise, are the words CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA, the year of issue 2024 and the value 50 FR. With this gold coin, the artist Vito Noto wanted to combine values and tradition with the essential elements of the sport.
