Interesting fact
The 1 Quarto Franco coin from the Canton of Ticino, made of silver and weighing 2.2g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Switzerland. In 1835, the country was undergoing a period of political and economic upheaval, with the establishment of the Swiss Federal State and the introduction of a new currency, the Swiss franc. The 1 Quarto Franco coin, which was equivalent to one-fourth of a Swiss franc, was part of this new currency system and was used widely in the Canton of Ticino and other parts of Switzerland. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Swiss people and their ability to navigate times of change.
