Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer 1808 coin from the Canton of Thurgau is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, which was a short-lived republic that existed from 1798 to 1803, and was replaced by the Swiss Confederation. The coin's mintage was a result of the economic reforms implemented during this period, which aimed to create a uniform currency system across the country. Despite its small denomination, the ½ Kreuzer coin played an important role in the everyday transactions of the time and is now a sought-after collector's item.
