The Matterhorn, with its almost perfectly symmetrical pyramid peak, is one of the most famous mountains in the world. It is a challenge even for the most experienced mountaineers, and more than 500 climbers have lost their lives on this mountain. With a height of 4478 meters (14,692 feet), it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and Europe. It was not conquered until 1865, when a group led by Edward Whymper reached the summit.
This special 1-ounce silver coin honors that historic climb, with a mintage limited to 1865 pieces. Featuring Switzerland as the issuing country, it showcases ultra-high relief of up to 3.5 mm, capturing the Matterhorn in breathtaking detail. The detailed embossing brings the Matterhorn to life – you can almost hear the wind howling around its massive mountain structure!
