This silver coin marks the inaugural piece in a trilogy centered around the theme of Swiss aerial cableways.
An aerial tramway, also known as an aerial tram or cablecar, is an aerial lift utilizing stationary ropes for support and a moving rope for propulsion. The cabin grip remains fixed to the propulsion rope throughout operation. Unlike gondola lifts, aerial tramways typically offer lower line capacities and longer wait times.

"Dominus Providebit," meaning "the Lord will provide," originated from Genesis 22:8 and was initially featured on Bern coins in 1716. To enhance protection against counterfeiting, the Federal Mint incorporated this motto into the border script of the 20-franc pieces in 1886. DOMICNUS | PROVIDEBIT *********** | ** |
