Comment
Minted in 1886 by Durussel in Bern with original dies.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat ND (1886) from Canton of Obwalden (Unterwalden) is that it was minted during a time when Switzerland was transitioning from a silver-based currency to a gold-based currency. The coin's gold content was intended to promote confidence in the new currency and to demonstrate the canton's wealth and prosperity.
