By Federal Mint Swissmint ……
On Thursday, July 21, 2022, the Federal Mint Swissmint issued the new “Solar Energy” 20-franc silver coin with color and fluorescent elements, continuing the three-part “Energy of the Future” series launched last year.
In addition to hydropower, the main sources of renewable energy in Switzerland are solar and wind power, although these two are used only to a very modest extent at present. The use of renewable energies should help to reduce dependence on oil, gas, and nuclear technology, and, in the longer term, even help to phase out fossil energy supplies.
With its “Energy of the Future” series, Swissmint wants to draw attention to the issues of climate change and renewable energies, which are important to us all, and the mint is continuing the three-part series launched in 2021 with the “Solar Energy” special coin.
