Switzerland to Revamp Coin Designs
After 150 years of minimal changes, Switzerland is introducing new designs for its 10th series of bank notes, showcasing the nation's diverse altitudes and landscapes.
In comparison to other countries, such as the United States, where Abraham Lincoln has been on the 1-cent coin for 116 years, Switzerland's coin designs have been relatively static.
- The female bust on the rappen or centime-denominated coins, designed by Karl Voight, has remained unchanged since 1879 (146 years).
- The standing Helvetia portrait, designed by Albert Walch, on the half, 1-, and 2-franc coins has been in use since 1875 (150 years).
Meanwhile, Switzerland has introduced nine differently designed series of bank notes since 1911.
