Each mint can mint large gold coins, but the Swiss have proven that they can issue filigree things. The Swiss Mint officially announced that it created the smallest gold coin in the world with a face value of ¼ franc.
It is dedicated to the famous scientist Albert Einstein. The diameter of the coin was 2.96 mm., And the weight was 0.063 g., Which corresponds to 1/500 troy ounce. At the same time, the coin was minted from gold with a purity of 99.99%. The report said that the circulation of the coin for the whole world will be only 999 pcs.
On the front side of the coin you can see the famous image of Albert Einstein with his tongue hanging out, as well as the year 2020. On the reverse side of the coin, the face value of ¼ franc and the inscription “Helvetia” are minted in combination with a Swiss cross. Also here you can see the purity of the precious metal "AU 999.9" and the weight of the coin (1/500 ounce).
The most interesting thing is that the coin is sold in a special package with a built-in lens so that its owner can see all the details without problems, since the size of the coin is smaller than the match head. This coin is legal tender in Switzerland, but it is unlikely that anyone will pay it in a store. By issuing a tiny coin, the Swiss Mint wanted to test its technical capabilities to show the world what it was capable of.
