Interesting fact

The 1 Franco coin from the Canton of Ticino, made of silver and weighing 7.4g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. In 1813, the country was still recovering from the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, which had established a new European political order. The Canton of Ticino, located in the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland, had only recently become a part of the Swiss Confederation, and the issuance of this coin reflects the canton's efforts to establish its own identity and economic independence. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's silver content and elegant design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
