Comment
Never issued. In June 2009 swissmint announced that all 25 and 50 franc coins, with the exception of 20,000 per type and year, had been melted down by the Swiss National Bank and converted into bullion gold.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 50 Francs 1955-1959 from Switzerland is that it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Swiss Federal Charter, which was signed in 1848 and established Switzerland as a federal state. The coin's design features the Swiss coat of arms and the inscription "CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA" (Swiss Confederation) on one side, and the value "50 FR" and the date "1955-1959" on the other. It was minted in gold (.900) and weighs 11.290 grams.
