Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler 1680 from City of Bern is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bear, which is visible on the reverse side of the coin, above the shield. This bear symbol is a nod to the city's name, Bern, which means "bear" in German. This subtle detail adds an extra layer of significance and historical context to the coin, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and history enthusiasts.
