On 19 June 2013, the Federal Mint Swissmint has launched the sale of a new commemorative coin dedicated to the aerobatic team of the Swiss Air Force.

For the past 50 years, the red and white aircraft of the Patrouille Suisse have been thrilling a wide audience in Switzerland and abroad with their displays at military and civil aviation events. Our Air Force's aerobatic squadron has become a hallmark for Switzerland and its proverbial precision, and showcases not only our armed forces, but our country as a whole. On the last weekend of August and the first weekend of September this year, a major flying display, AIR 14, will take place in Payerne to celebrate not only the 50th anniversary of the Patrouille Suisse, but also the Swiss Air Force's centenary.

To mark the anniversary, Swissmint has issued a silver commemorative coin with a face value of 20 francs. Designed by the Swiss illustrator Angelo Boog, the coin is available in the minting qualities 'uncirculated' and 'polished proof' in a presentation case.
