Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from Fribourg was minted during a time when the city was part of the Old Swiss Confederacy, a political union of Swiss cantons that lasted from the late medieval period to the early modern period. The coin's design likely featured the city's coat of arms, which included a shield with three roses, symbolizing the city's connection to the Confederacy.
