Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Ducat 1776 from City of Zürich is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Karl Sittich of Zurich, who was a member of the Swiss Confederation, a union of Swiss cantons that was formed in 1291. At the time, the Swiss Confederation was facing challenges from both within and outside its borders, including the threat of invasion from foreign powers and internal conflicts between the different cantons. Despite these challenges, the ½ Ducat 1776 from City of Zürich remains a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Swiss Confederation and the city of Zurich.
