Interesting fact
The 1 Centime 1839 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 traditional coat of arms of the Canton of Geneva, which highlights the region's rich history and cultural heritage.
