1935 Swiss 20 Francs Vreneli Gold Coin (Reverse)

This is a gold coin, specifically the reverse side of a Swiss 20 Francs 'Vreneli' coin, dated 1935. The coin is circular and displays a warm, rich gold color typical of high-purity gold. Its surface appears to have a slightly matte or brushed finish, with raised design elements featuring a subtle sheen. The central design prominently features the Swiss coat of arms, a shield displaying an upright, equal-armed cross, enclosed by a wreath of oak leaves on the left and perhaps laurel or another leafy branch on the right. Below the shield, the minting year '1935' is clearly visible. To the left and right of the shield, the denomination '20 FR' is inscribed, with '20' on the left and 'FR' on the right. The rim of the coin has a finely milled edge, indicative of secure manufacture and to deter clipping. There are no obvious signs of significant wear such as heavy scratching, denting, or edge damage. The details of the foliage and the cross are sharp and well-defined, suggesting a well-preserved condition, possibly uncirculated or lightly circulated. The overall craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, consistent with national coinage. The particular year '1935' for Swiss Vreneli coins often falls into a category of restrikes, though without seeing the obverse or knowing mint details, it's difficult to confirm definitively from this image alone. The coin represents a classic European gold bullion coin of the early 20th century.
