The 5, 10 and 20 centimes coins show a head of Liberty in profile, designed by Karl Schwenzer (1879). The ½, 1 and 2 francs coins show a standing figure of the national personification Helvetia, designed by Albert Walch (1860). The 5 francs coin on the obverse shows a portrait of an "alpine herdsman" (Alphirte), designed by Paul Burkhard (1922), and on the reverse the federal coat of arms;[3] additionally it has the inscription DOMINUS PROVIDEBIT embossed on the edge. The original series of coins introduced in 1850 consisted of nine denominations. To this were added three denominations of gold coins, 10, 20 and 100 francs, between 1897 and 1925. The 1 and 2 centimes coins were retired from circulation in 2007 and 1978, respectively. The gold coins have never been officially retired, but they are not in circulation as their gold value far exceeds their denomination. Therefore, there remain seven different denominations in circulation, as listed above.
