Interesting fact
The 1 Groschen 1791 coin from the City of Schwyz is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The French Revolution had just begun, and the old feudal systems were being overthrown. This coin, minted in the Swiss Confederation, represents a small but significant part of European history.
