Interesting fact
The 1 Centime 1847 coin from the Canton of Geneva is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Switzerland. The coin was issued just a few years after the Swiss Federal Constitution was adopted, which established Switzerland as a federal state and marked the beginning of a new era of political stability and unity in the country. Despite this, the coin still features the coat of arms of the Canton of Geneva, highlighting the importance of local autonomy and identity within the larger Swiss Confederation. This fact adds historical significance to the coin and makes it a unique piece of Swiss history.
