Interesting fact
The 1 Centime coin from the Canton of Geneva, made of copper and weighing 1.0g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Switzerland. The coin was issued between 1840 and 1846, a period when Switzerland was undergoing a process of federalization, which led to the establishment of a federal constitution and the creation of a unified national currency. Despite the turmoil, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, reflecting the importance of sound monetary policy during times of political transition.
