Switzerland 5 Francs {1968-2024}

FEATURING
front: The Swiss escutcheon with flower wreaths 

The coat of arms of Switzerland shows the same white cross as the flag of Switzerland, but on a red shield. The appearance of the coat of arms or shield varies greatly, but the federal resolution of 12 December 1889 on the coat of arms decrees that the four arms have equal lengths, in a ratio to their width of 7:6, and includes a drawing of the coat of arms.

back: Bust of curly-haired herdsman, facing right, wearing hooded shirt, often mistakenly identified as William Tell.

Lettering: CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA
Unabridged legend: Confederatio Helvetica. 
Translation: Swiss Confederation.
