The Matterhorn, one of the Alps' highest and most iconic peaks, is honored in a stunning new coin created by Swissmint and a fellow MDA member. Marking the historic 1865 ascent led by Edward Whymper, the coin features ultra-high relief of up to 3.5 mm, vividly capturing the mountain’s dramatic form. Limited to just 1865 pieces, with premium 2 kg silver and 1 kg gold editions showcasing smartminting® technology, this collaboration is a striking tribute to both mountaineering history and modern minting innovation.
