Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer 1744 coin from the City of Fribourg is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was part of the Swiss Confederation, and it features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the Swiss cross on the other. This coin was also made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper, and it weighs 0.42 grams, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin.
