Jean François Antoine Bovy was a Geneva-based medalist. He created the first series of the Swiss Franc, and he engraved the dies of the first emission of the series featuring the «Standing Hevetia» which is still on the Swiss money of today. How the Swiss Franc was created, what it looks like and why it looks it does, is explained in the exhibition «Antoine Bovy and the Swiss Franc».
