For whatever reason you only allow 5 minutes to setup an account with banking info and to pay. With all the verifications that had to be done it took me 2 phones and at minimum 6 tries....that's annoying. We usually shop with APMEX and everything isn't on a timed rushed situation which makes for a much smoother process.

Introduction
The Swiss Gold 20 Franc Coin combines historic European coinage with approximately .1867 troy oz of gold. Struck in .900 fine gold, these circulated coins offer a recognizable fractional gold format with designs rooted in Swiss history. Dates, designs, and individual conditions vary based on available inventory.
History
Switzerland's historic 20 Franc gold coins were produced to specifications established during the era of the Latin Monetary Union, creating a standardized gold coin that could circulate alongside comparable European denominations.
Depending on the date received, coins may feature the earlier Helvetia design or the later Vreneli design introduced in 1897. The Vreneli became one of Switzerland's most recognizable gold coins and remained in production into the 20th century. Because this listing includes varying dates, the specific design, year, mintage, and individual condition are not guaranteed.
Design
Designs vary by date. Earlier Swiss 20 Franc coins may feature a classical representation of Helvetia or Liberty, while later Vreneli issues feature a female personification of Switzerland with braided hair and an Alpine landscape in the background.
Reverse designs generally incorporate the Swiss cross or national coat of arms along with the 20 Franc denomination and date. Exact inscriptions, edge details, and other design elements vary according to the issue received.
