I'm curious about the composition of Swiss franc coins. Specifically, I want to know if they are made of silver. Could someone please confirm this for me?

Instead, they were minted using a cupronickel alloy, a material that is both cost-effective and durable.

It's worth noting that there was one exception to this rule. In 1969, a special 5-franc coin was minted in silver, marking a brief return to the traditional material.

Coins denominated from ½ to 5 francs have undergone a significant change in their composition over time.

Prior to 1968, these coins were minted using 0.835 fine silver, a standard that ensured their value and durability.

However, in 1968, a shift occurred, and these coins were no longer produced using silver.
