Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Republic of Obwalden (Unterwalden) in 1732 has an interesting feature. It has a unique octagonal shape, unlike most coins which are round in shape. This distinctive design was a deliberate choice to make the coin easily recognizable and harder to counterfeit.
