It can be difficult to exchange leftover Swiss franc coins. Banks and foreign exchange companies don't generally accept coins because they're expensive to process and transport, so your options for exchanging any leftover shrapnel back into pounds can be limited:

No, you'll get more for your Swiss francs if you sell when the Swiss franc buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy Swiss francs, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Swiss francs you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 1.1395 means you'd get fr. 1.1395 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Swiss francs you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Swiss francs, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Swiss francs you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 1.1395 means you'd need to sell fr. 1.1395 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Swiss francs, you need to divide the Swiss franc amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
One Swiss franc (fr.) can be subdivided into 100 'rappen' (rp. - German and Romansh) or 'centimes' (ct. - French and Italian). There are five denominations of Swiss franc banknotes in frequent circulation: fr. 10, fr. 20, fr. 50, fr. 100 and fr. 200, plus a fr. 1000 note which is less-frequently used due to its high value. Swiss franc coins are available in denominations rp. 5, rp. 10, rp. 20, rp. 50, fr. 1, fr. 2, and fr. 5.
The current series of Swiss franc banknotes, introduced by the Swiss National Bank in 2016, features a range of distinctive designs that celebrate Swiss heritage, culture, and innovation. For instance, the fr. 10 note features a hand-and-globe motif which symbolises Switzerland's global perspective. The fr. 20 note highlights creativity, featuring the theme of light and showcasing the arts, including an image of the wings of a dancer. The fr. 50 note represents Switzerland's expertise in the field of design, while the highest denomination fr. 1000 showcases Switzerland's cultural diversity, featuring motifs from the world of knowledge and an image of a conductor holding a baton.
