Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer 1742 coin from the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the reign of the Helvetic Republic, which was established in 1798 and lasted until 1803. This period saw significant reforms and modernization efforts in Switzerland, including the introduction of a new currency system. The 1 Kreuzer coin was part of this new system and was used widely throughout the region. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of history and a reminder of the significant changes that took place in Switzerland during this time.
