Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1810 Canton of Zurich 1 Ducat coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The country was under French occupation at the time, and the Canton of Zurich was one of the few cantons that were allowed to mint their own coins. This coin, made of gold (.986) and weighing 3.5 grams, was likely used as a means of exchange and store of value during this period. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
