Lake Lugano, proof

Lake Lugano

With over 1,500 lakes and many rivers, Switzerland is seen as the water tower of Europe. Lakes are not just key features of the landscape, they also offer valuable habitats for flora and fauna, as well as being popular places for recreation and inspiration for people.

With the new special coin series “Swiss lakes”, Switzerland's lakes have been captured in silver. The series will launch with the two silver coins “Lake Maggiore” and “Lake Lugano”. The 20-franc special coins illustrate the beauty of both lakes in silver 999 and have a weight of 20g and a diameter of 33mm. The “Lake Geneva” special coin will be issued next year, with the “Lake Lucerne” coin completing the series in 2027.
