Swissmint produces exclusive and limited-edition collector coins under the name “Swiss special coins”. The Schilthorn is of great tourist and cultural importance for Switzerland, not only offering spectacular views of the Swiss Alps that attract thousands of visitors every year, but also achieving international fame thanks to its appearance in the James Bond film “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. The Schilthornbahn 20XX project envisages a new direct connection between Stechelberg and Mürren, which will be the steepest cableway in the world when completed. The new Schilthorn cable car special coin is a way of remembering the old cable car.
