Chapel Bridge Sterling Silver Proof Color Coin

The Chapel Bridge is located in Lucerne, central Switzerland. It is Europe’s oldest and second longest wooden covered bridge. One unique feature of this bridge is that it contains triangular pictures which depict Lucerne’s historical events. Unfortunately, more than two-thirds of the pictures were destroyed in a fire in 1993, and only 30 were successfully restored. The tall structure illustrated on the coin is the Bridge’s Wasserturm, or water tower.
