The Swiss Mint, Swissmint, has just issued the first coin in a new series called "Energies of the Future". This commemorative coin is dedicated to "Hydropower" and marks the first time that the Swiss mint has issued a colored coin with glow-in-the-dark fluorescent elements.
Energy is a precious commodity and an indispensable part of our daily life. A sustainable energy supply plays an important role in this regard. The basis for these alternative forms of energy are provided by natural resources, such as water, wind, and the sun.
Hydraulic power is one of the oldest sources of energy in the world and was already used more than 5,000 years ago. It offers an efficient way of generating electricity, respectful with the climate and the environment. In Switzerland, the network of hydroelectric plants consists of run-of-the-river power plants (usually consisting of a dam formed by a dike in a flowing body of water, for example river plants), storage plants (hydroelectric plants with natural reservoirs or artificial) and pumping stations (consisting of two water basins located at different heights). A total of 677 plants are in operation throughout the country, producing an average of 36,741 gigawatt hours of electricity per year and thus supplying 56% of Switzerland's energy needs.
Swissmint pays tribute to the promotion of renewable energy and the sustainable use of resources with the 20-franc silver "Hydropower" coin. The coin not only captivates with its colorful details, but also reveals another secret in the dark: the fluorescent elements printed on the coin begin to glow.
This silver coin is only available in proof quality, presented in a case with a numbered certificate of authenticity, and is the first in a series of three, "Energies of the future", it will be followed by "Solar energy" in 2022 and "Energy wind power 'in 2023.
On the upper edge of the obverse, the words "WASSER" (water) and "ENERGIE" (power / energy) appear in capital letters, followed by the French and Italian names "eau" and "acqua"; just below are the components of a turbine and data on water consumption in Switzerland. The lower half of the image shows an abstract color image of water and water flows. The design was created by Swissmint engraver Benjamin Löbbert.
