Overview

The reverse side features the face value '1 Fr.' and the year '1986' surrounded by a wreath of oak and alpine rose branches. The obverse (not pictured) typically shows a standing figure of Helvetia, personifying Switzerland, with a shield and a spear.

Historical significance

The design of the Swiss franc has remained virtually unchanged since the late 19th century, representing Swiss stability and neutrality. While earlier versions (pre-1968) were made of silver, modern issues use copper-nickel but maintain the iconic classical imagery.

Estimated value

$1.00 - $1.50 USD (Face value is approximately 1.15 USD depending on current exchange rates)

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin as this can create microscopic scratches and reduce numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place away from PVC-containing plastics to prevent long-term corrosion.
