Here's a rare purchase for me; a gold coin. I really like the design of this little beauty! These are known as the Vreneli type, while the somewhat more classical types are called the Helvetia design. I really have no idea where the word "Vreneli" comes from. If anyone else knows, I'd be interested to find out!

Does this coin look oval to anyone else?

Yes, I have been noticing a compression of images posted lately...I don't know why but it's nothing too big once you adjust your eyes for it
Very nice coin...Gold is well out of my price range but I enjoy seeing when others get them and share!
