Comment
Slg. Voltz 702Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the Strasbourg, Bern, and Zurich pact, which was a military alliance formed in 1588 between the cities of Strasbourg, Bern, and Zurich to counter the growing power of the Habsburgs in the region. The coin's design features the coats of arms of the three cities on one side and the image of a crowned eagle on the other, symbolizing their unity and strength in the face of external threats.
