Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling / 3 Rappen coin from the Canton of Glarus, made of Billon and weighing 1.26g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The early 19th century saw the country transitioning from a loose confederation of states to a more centralized federal state, and the introduction of a standardized currency was an important step in this process. The Glarus coin is a tangible reminder of this significant period in Swiss history.
