Interesting fact
The 1 Franc 1811 coin from the Canton of Bern was minted during a time of great change in Switzerland. In 1811, the country was still a confederation of independent states, and the Bernese franc was one of the many local currencies in use. Despite this, the coin's design and production were overseen by the federal government, which was a rare example of centralized authority in an otherwise decentralized system. This coin is a fascinating piece of history that showcases the complex political and economic landscape of Switzerland during that time.
