Information on Silver Swiss Myths and Legends – William Tell 2 oz – High Relief 2025
philoro is proud to present the first issue of the new, exclusive “Swiss Myths and Legends” series: Wilhelm Tell. Like no other, this legendary figure stands for freedom, courage and the indomitable will of a people. The story of William Tell – the masterful crossbowman who defied tyrannical rule – has shaped generations and is considered a central symbol of Swiss identity. Originating in the late Middle Ages, the legend of William Tell was passed down verbally over the centuries before gaining international fame through Friedrich Schiller’s famous drama, among other works. It speaks of Tell’s refusal to bow before the hat of bailiff Gessler, his legendary apple-shot challenge and his subsequent resistance to foreign rule – a myth that still embodies the values of independence and the desire for freedom today. This exceptional collector’s edition in proof-like finish is minted in high relief and comes in an elegant, highly polished precious wood box with integrated philoro logo and certificate of authenticity. The 2 oz silver coin is limited to only 750 pieces worldwide – an exclusive collector’s item for lovers of Swiss history and high-quality numismatics.
The design of the Silver Swiss Myths and Legends – William Tell 2 oz – High Relief 2025
The obverse side of the silver coin shows William Tell with his son Walter in the legendary scene. Tell is carrying a bow over his shoulder and grasping two gold-plated arrows – a stylish contrast to the coin in silver finish. The red apple on top of his son’s head stands out as the central element. The background shows a finely crafted Alpine landscape including a lake and mountains – referencing Lake Lucerne. The inscription “Wilhelm Tell” at the bottom completes the detailed design. Depictions of various motifs from Swiss myths and legends are combined on the reverse side. The Swiss cross is discreetly integrated into the design. The philoro logo also blends into the design elegantly. The words meaning “Swiss myths and legends” appear at the top in German, French and Italian. The inscription “2 oz Fine Silver 999.9” can be found at the bottom.
