Crocodiles from Switzerland
The famous electric locomotives, also known as “Crocodiles”, celebrate their 100th anniversary this year. The Swissmint has dedicated a gold commemorative coin to this marvel of Swiss technology.
A Highlight of Swiss Space Research
The Swissmint commemorates the first moon landing 50 years ago with a new silver coin. The University of Bern participated in the mission with an experiment: Before the astronaut “Buzz” Aldrin hoisted the American flag on the moon, he first hung up a Swiss solar sail.
