Fair use rationale for Image:Helvetia-die.JPG
Image:Helvetia-die.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Weight of 100 franc coin

Confusion about start of minting
In the box on the top of the page it says that they started minting the coin in 1897. However further down in the page there's a photo of a coin minted in 1890! I personally possess a coin that with the date 1896! That could be a fake, as I assume so could the coin on this page that is dated at 1890. Clarification would be much helpful. --78.71.209.195 (talk) 22:23, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Section "Origin of Gold"
I opt for removing this section, as the content ist not accurate. Not only that the cited source (article of NZZ) covers a problem of these days, that has nothing to do with the time, when the gold for the vrenelis was mined. But it also doesn't give any source whatsoever for the claim, that the vreneli was minted with gold of Peruvian origin. The author merely mentions at the end of the article, that some of the gold, mined these days and discussed in the article, might have been transported to Switzerland later, where gold bars and vrenelis might have been cast/minted using that gold (obviously the author is not aware of the fact, that Switzerland hasn't minted anymore vreneli in the last 68 years, and she uses the term "vreneli" just for "bullion", as many people do in Switzerland - due to the popularity of those coins). 84.73.100.206 (talk) 13:34, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
