2025 Switzerland 5 Francs 1-oz Silver Matterhorn Ultra High Relief Proof

Raw. Untamed. The Matterhorn's Legacy In Silver

The Matterhorn–tall, imposing, and savage–juts 14,692 feet into the sky above the icy heart of the Swiss Alps, daring foolhardy souls of every race and creed to challenge its razor-sharp summit. A death trap for many, its near-perfect pyramid-like peak has lured the brave and the reckless alike, claiming over 500 lives in its merciless grip. In 1865, Edward Whymper and his fearless crew faced its icy wrath and claimed victory–but it came at a brutal cost: four men tumbled into eternity on the treacherous descent, their bodies claimed by the unforgiving mountain. Now the dangerous and majestic mountain stands out on this jaw-dropping coin that scales the heights of coin-minting technology!

A Feat Of Craftsmanship Forged By Groundbreaking Minting Technology

This fabulous coin was struck by Germany's world-renowned Mayer Mint using Coin Invest Trust's (CIT) patented Smartminting© technology and does a brilliant job of capturing the dangerous snow-covered mountain in wonderful Ultra High Relief (UHR) detail. A feat of craftsmanship, this groundbreaking minting technology brings the Matterhorn to life. Every ridge. Every wind-scarred edge. It's all there as a towering symbol of nature's might. The obverse honors the seven who first reached the summit in 1865. Their story is etched into history. Along the edge, Edward Whymper's triumphant words: "At 1.40 p.m. the world was at our feet, and the Matterhorn was conquered. Hurrah!"

Released on behalf of Switzerland, this 5 Francs legal-tender coin was struck in a full Troy ounce of highly pure 99.99% silver and even includes selective colorization to enhance the Matterhorn's harsh-yet-beautiful majesty. And, with a gorgeous Proof finish that boasts of frosted raised elements and mirrored backgrounds, you'll almost feel like strapping on a pair of spiked crampons and load up on carabiners & ropes and attempt to climb the Matterhorn yourself. But let's start with the coin first, shall we?
