Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling / 3 Rappen coin from the Canton of Glarus, made of Billon and weighing 1.28g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was minted during the period of the Helvetic Republic (1798-1803), which was established after the French Revolution and the fall of the Old Swiss Confederacy. This coin was one of the first standardized coins issued by the new government, and it reflects the efforts of the Helvetic Republic to establish a centralized currency system and promote economic unity across the country.
