This is the first time that a commemorative coin has been dedicated to a living person. The government called the 20-time Grand Slam champion as "probably Switzerland’s most successful individual sportsman... He is also the perfect ambassador for Switzerland."
The "heads" side of the coin shows Federer playing a one-handed backhand. The "tails" reads - "CONFOEDERATIO, HELVETICA"
Here's a look at the coin and how to order one of those collectibles.
