The Goldvreneli

The Goldvreneli is a Swiss gold coin that was introduced at the end of the 19th century and produced well into the first half of the 20th century. In terms of its gold content, it meets the requirements of the Latin Monetary Union. The 20-franc coin therefore contains 5.807 g of pure gold, while the 10-franc coin contains 2.903 g. This meant that the coin could be used not only in Switzerland but also in other countries of the Monetary Union, such as France, Belgium and Italy. In those days, corresponding coins with the same fineness existed in these countries.

Despite its international connections, the Goldvreneli is a true Swiss coin. It was designed by a Swiss artist with a motif that represents Switzerland and its values. The woman depicted serves as an allegory for Switzerland, the 22 stars on the edge represent the 22 full cantons that existed at the time, and the coat of arms and the word ‘Helvetia’ reveal the coin's origin without favouring any national language. The details of the mountain panorama in the background, the woman's necklace made of edelweiss and the oak branches behind the coat of arms also show Swiss nature.

The appearance of the little Vreneli differs slightly from that of its bigger sister due to its slenderness, and it was also used later for the 100-franc issue.

During the 53 years that the 20-franc Goldvreneli was minted, over 58 million pieces were produced. Many modern investment coins do not reach such high numbers even after decades of production.

What are Goldvreneli suitable for?

While modern gold coins are aimed primarily at investors, the Goldvreneli is suitable for a wide range of buyers and purposes due to its characteristics.

Buying a Goldvreneli as a gift

The fine weight of 5.807 g makes the coin valuable but not unaffordable. This makes it an excellent gift. In fact, the coin is probably the most popular gift given to children for birthdays, baptisms or first communions. This is also due to its golden nature. Many people buy Goldvreneli because they want to give something that is not subject to constant devaluation and can be resold by the recipient at a suitable time.

Due to its widespread use as a gift, many Swiss associate positive memories with the Goldvreneli.

Buying Goldvreneli for collections

Due to its historical significance and Swiss origin, the Goldvreneli also appeals to collectors. Collections are usually arranged by topic, and as a Swiss coin from the 19th and 20th century that also goes back to the Latin Monetary Union, Goldvreneli coins fit into various collections. The 10-franc Goldvreneli was minted over seven years. The 20-franc Goldvreneli was minted over a period of 29 years in varying quantities. The rarest coin is the 100-franc Goldvreneli, which was minted in 1925 in a total of just 5,000 pieces and is therefore particularly valuable to collectors. Special boxes are also available for collectors in which a collection of Goldvrenelis can be displayed.

Buy Goldvreneli to invest

Investors who want to regularly buy a small amount of gold have a wide range of products to choose from today. In addition to bars, which are available in almost all sizes, you can also buy coins. The market offers modern investment coins such as Krugerrand, Maple Leaf or Vienna Philharmonic not only in the large 1-ounce format but also in 1/10 or ¼ ounces. However, the Goldvreneli can be just as suitable and should at least be considered as an option.

Buying Goldvreneli as an emergency reserve

People who buy Goldvrenelis as an emergency reserve for various scenarios have a different focus than gift givers or collectors. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the global economy has been shaken by crises several times. Since the Crimea crisis in 2014, a major armed conflict must also be expected in Europe again. For this reason, many people are also concerned with a so-called worst-case scenario. In such a scenario, gold coins can offer opportunities to make purchases outside of the financial system. Since Goldvreneli weigh considerably less than the classic coins to an ounce (31.1034 g), they are suitable for the payment of smaller goods and services.

In both Germany and the United States, private ownership of gold was banned in the first half of the last century, except for historical coins from collections. Since the Goldvreneli are now also considered historical coins, some of these buyers expect to benefit in certain scenarios.

Purchase prices for Goldvreneli

The three different Goldvreneli of 10, 20 and 100 francs are of course traded at very different prices. The 20-franc Vreneli, of which almost 60 million exist, is traded close to the gold price. The premium for a 10-franc Goldvreneli, of which 3.8 million were produced, is considerably higher. The premium on the gold price for a 20-franc Goldvreneli is around 10%–17%, while for a 10-franc Goldvreneli it is already around 40%. The price of the 100-franc Goldvreneli is completely disconnected from the price of gold, with a premium of 500% or more.

The price of gold can fluctuate both up and down and can be subject to increased volatility, especially in times of crisis. This should always be considered when making a purchase.

Sustainable gold

Sustainability is an important issue for more and more people. When the gold for the Goldvreneli was mined, there were no such concerns and it can be assumed that very harmful methods were used. Nevertheless, it is extremely environmentally friendly to buy gold that has been mined for a long time and is available as a coin. Even if gold for modern coins is extracted in a much more environmentally friendly way today, even the most modern mines still represent a massive intrusion into nature.

Conclusion on buying Goldvreneli

Buying Goldvreneli can be interesting for a number of reasons. As a historic Swiss coin, it is extremely popular and can be resold at any time to banks, dealers and other private individuals. Every buyer should be aware of the fact that the price of gold can also fluctuate greatly.

If you are looking for a small gold coin to buy, the Goldvreneli is always a good choice.
