Interesting fact

The ½ Franken coin from the Canton of St. Gallen, made of silver and weighing 4.62g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued in 1810, just a few years after the French Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Helvetic Republic, which had a significant impact on the country's currency and economy. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into Switzerland's rich cultural heritage.
