Gold coin "200 years Swiss Shooting Sports Federation"

The special coin celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Swiss Shooting Sports Federation (SSV). The coin will be on sale at the big jubilee festival in Aarau from 16.08.2024 to 18.08.2024. The CHF 50 gold coin succeeds the special silver coin issued in summer 2023.

The special coin «200 years Swiss Shooting Sports Federation» is made of 900 gold and weighs 11.29 g. The obverse of the coin shows a view of a target through the barrel of a weapon. This view is framed by the years 1824 and 2024, and the anniversary "200 years of the SSV". The reverse of the gold coin is, like the reverse of the SSV special coin in silver, a historical echo of times gone by: the first forerunner of the later shooting thaler was minted in 1842 with an official value of 4 FR to celebrate the shooting festival in Chur. The reverse of the "200 years of the SSV" special coin again features elements of this first coin minted to mark a shooting festival. On the reverse, clockwise, are the words CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA, the year of issue 2024 and the value 50 FR. With this gold coin, the artist Vito Noto wanted to combine values and tradition with the essential elements of the sport.

This gold coin will be on sale at the 200th anniversary festival to be held in Aarau from 16 to 18 August 2024. Opening hours of the Swissmint booth at the jubilee festival:
