Silver coin Lake Lugano<\/h1>\n

With over 1,500 lakes and many rivers, Switzerland is seen as the water tower of Europe. Lakes are not just key features of the landscape, they also offer valuable habitats for flora and fauna, as well as being popular places for recreation and inspiration for people.<\/p>\n

With the new special coin series \u201cSwiss lakes\u201d, Switzerland’s lakes have been captured in silver. The series will launch with the two silver coins \u201cLake Maggiore\u201d and \u201cLake Lugano\u201d. The 20-franc special coins illustrate the beauty of both lakes in silver 999 and have a weight of 20g and a diameter of 33mm. The \u201cLake Geneva\u201d special coin will be issued next year, with the \u201cLake Lucerne\u201d coin completing the series in 2027.<\/p>\n

The obverse of each coin shows a bird’s eye view of the shining, tranquil lake. The landscapes surrounding Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano are depicted by means of contour lines extending out to the coin’s edge. The name of the lake is written in cursive script above or next to the image, adorning the surrounding Ticino landscape.<\/p>\n

On the reverse, all special coins in the new \u201cSwiss lakes\u201d series feature a striking graphic symbolising Switzerland’s role as Europe’s water tower. Around the edge of the coin is the face value of CHF 20, the inscription \u201cCONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA\u201d, the minting year 2025 and the mint mark B for Swissmint.<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″]
