Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Duplone 1796 from City of Solothurn is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The French Revolution had a significant impact on Switzerland, leading to the Helvetic Republic being established in 1798, and the coin's minting in 1796 may have been a response to the economic and political upheaval of the time.
