KREUZER
1811
Interesting fact
The Pattern ½ Kreuzer 1811 from Canton of Zürich was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The country was transitioning from a medieval society to a modern, federal state, and the introduction of a new currency system was part of this process. The Pattern ½ Kreuzer coin was intended to be part of this new system, but it was ultimately never widely adopted, making it a rare and interesting piece for collectors today.
