How much is a standard 20 francs Vreneli worth?

The value of a standard 20 francs Vreneli (except for the rarer 1904, 1905, 1906 and 1926 vintages) is based on the daily rate for gold. This rate develops and changes daily. If you want to sell a Vreneli, you will receive the purchase price, which is usually about 5% below the daily rate. If you want to buy a Vreneli, you must pay the selling price, which is usually about 5% above the daily rate.

The little sister: the 10 francs Vreneli

The value of a standard 10 francs Vreneli (except for the year 1911) is set on the basis of the rate for gold. This rate develops and changes daily. If you wish to sell a 10 francs Vreneli, you will receive the purchase price, which usually corresponds to the daily rate.

Because the 10 francs Vreneli are less common and therefore more sought-after, buying them is a little different. When you buy a 10 francs Vreneli, you pay the selling price, which is usually around 40 to 50% above the daily rate.

10 francs Vreneli year 1911

Only the 10 francs Vreneli with the year 1911 have a numismatic collector’s value. A well-preserved example with this date can achieve a hammer price of between CHF 400 and CHF 500 in one of our auctions, which corresponds to a value of three times the daily gold price that a 10 francs example of the years 1912 to 1922 normally has.

If you are in possession of a 10 francs Vreneli from 1911 and are interested in selling it, please feel free to contact us at any time.
