5 Swiss Francs coin

5 Swiss Francs (Issued 1949)

The 5 francs is the largest circulating denomination of the Swiss franc, distinguished by its Alpine herdsman design in use since 1922. This 1949 coin was struck in a silver alloy, before the move to copper-nickel in 1968, and has a bright white colour, a substantial weight and lettered edge protection.

On the obverse is the profile bust of an Alpine herdsman, a mountain figure popularly connected with the legend of William Tell, encircled by the Latin legend “CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA” with the designer’s signature beneath.

On the reverse, the value “5 FR.” appears above the Swiss shield with its white cross, framed by a wreath of Alpine flowers, with the year 1949 and the Bern mint letter B at the foot. The raised edge inscription reads “DOMINUS PROVIDEBIT” accompanied by thirteen stars.
