Obverse (Picture Side): The design, created by the artist Angelo Boog from Diepoldsau, beautifully captures the essence of yodelling. It typically features:

A dynamic and abstract representation of the sound waves produced during yodelling, often radiating outwards or forming a pattern that evokes the unique vocal technique.

Elements that might suggest the Alpine environment where yodelling originated, such as stylized mountains or valleys.

The inscription "JODELN" (Yodelling) is clearly visible, along with the year "2017". The design aims to convey the joyous and resonant nature of this cultural practice.

Reverse (Value Side): This side features the traditional Swiss design elements:

The iconic Swiss Cross, often centrally placed or integrated into the design.

The year of issue "2017".

The denomination "20 Fr." (or "20 Franken").

The phrase "CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA" (Latin for "Swiss Confederation").

The purity and weight of the silver ("Ag 0.835" and "20g") are also usually inscribed.

Edge Inscription: The coin's smooth edge is inscribed with the motto "DOMINUS PROVIDEBIT" (The Lord will provide – a quote from the Bible, Genesis 22:8) and thirteen stars representing the original thirteen cantons of the Swiss Federation.

Mintage:

Swiss commemorative coins issued in Uncirculated (BU) quality generally have limited mintages. For the 2017 "Yodelling" 20 Francs silver coin, the Uncirculated mintage would be a specific, controlled number (e.g., typically around 20,000 pieces) released for collectors. (Proof versions usually have even lower mintages, around 5,000 pieces).

This coin is a delightful item for collectors of Swiss coinage, those interested in cultural themes, and anyone who appreciates well-designed silver commemorative coins celebrating national heritage.
