Interesting fact

The ½ Thaler coin from the City of Zürich was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the period of the Helvetic Republic (1798-1803), which was a short-lived republic that was established in Switzerland after the French Revolution. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the City of Zürich, which includes a shield with a cross and three crowned lions, symbolizing the city's connection to the Swiss Confederation. Despite the coin's age, many examples have survived to this day and can be found in the collections of numismatists and history enthusiasts.
