Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling 1794-1795 coin from the City of Lucerne is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, a short-lived republic that was established in 1798 and lasted until 1803. This period saw the introduction of a new currency, the franc, which replaced the various local currencies that were in use across Switzerland. The 1 Schilling coin, made of Billon and weighing 1.27g, was part of this new currency system and was used widely throughout the country. Despite its relatively small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of Swiss numismatic history and a reminder of the country's economic and political evolution during this time.
