The female coin designers at Swissmint
April 17, 2026
Jakob Stampfer, Antoine Bovy, Fritz Landry—to name just the most famous Swiss medalists—would all be delighted by the creative designs that have enriched Swiss numismatics in recent years. They probably never would have imagined that today, more and more often, women are the ones behind these designs. Coin design has clearly become more feminine. Whether you’re talking to the young female artists in the design department at the Austrian Mint, the students at the Italian Scuola dell’Arte della Medaglia, or Fabia Lyrenmann and Anouk Röthlisberger: when it comes to coin design, no one can ignore the creative female coin designers today!
