Interesting fact
The Pattern ½ Kreuzer 1732 from City of Bern is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is considered a "pattern" coin because it was struck as a trial or sample coin, rather than a regular issue coin. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the City of Bern on one side and the image of a Saint on the other. The fact that it is made of silver and weighs 0.73g makes it even more unique and valuable to collectors.
