Interesting fact
The 1 Rappen 1813 coin from the Canton of Solothurn is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The country was transitioning from a medieval society to a modern, federal state, and the introduction of a standardized currency was an important step in this process. The 1 Rappen coin was a significant denomination at the time, and its design featured the coat of arms of the Canton of Solothurn, which included a shield with three bears. This image symbolized the strength and unity of the canton and was a proud expression of its identity.
