Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer 1808 coin from the Canton of Thurgau was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, which was established in 1798 and lasted until 1803. During this time, the Swiss Confederation was reorganized, and the cantons were given more autonomy. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing need for currency during this period of economic and political upheaval.
