The Icons of Liberty series continues with its third release, celebrating Helvetia, the national personification of Switzerland. This stunning 1 AVDP ounce .999 fine copper round beautifully captures the spirit of Swiss independence and resilience with a striking two-sided design.
The obverse showcases a majestic Helvetia, depicted as a warrior maiden standing proud against a breathtaking backdrop of the Swiss Alps. Clad in blue armor and a flowing red cape, she holds a spear and a shield bearing the Swiss cross, symbolizing strength and protection. Edelweiss flowers—an emblem of Swiss purity and courage—adorn the design. Above her, the inscription “HELVETIA SUNTENBIT” translates to “Switzerland Will Endure,” reinforcing the theme of national strength.
The reverse features a beautifully ornate Swiss cross crest, intricately decorated with a textured pattern and surrounded by floral accents. The Latin inscription “DOMINUS PROVIDEBIT” (“The Lord Will Provide”) is prominently displayed above, a nod to Swiss heritage and faith. The lower portion includes the dates 1648 – 2025, honoring the year Switzerland gained full independence and the coin’s release year. The specifications, “ONE AVDP OUNCE .999 FINE COPPER,” confirm its metal content and weight.
This exceptional copper round is a tribute to Swiss history, embodying the courage, independence, and enduring spirit of Helvetia. It’s a must-have for collectors of historical and symbolic coinage!
