Comment
15 gold copies of this commemorative coin were minted and given as a gift to all the Swiss citizens who were exactly 100 years old in 1948 by the Federal Council.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Francs (Constitution; gold) 1948 coin from Switzerland is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Swiss Federal Constitution, which was adopted in 1848. The coin's design features an image of the Swiss coat of arms and the inscription "CONSTITUTION FEDERALE" (Federal Constitution) on the obverse, and the value "5 FRANCS" and the date "1948" on the reverse. The coin was made of gold (0.900 fine) and weighs 26.12 grams. It was a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather for collectors and investors.
