Interesting fact
The 1 Sol, 6 Deniers 1795 coin from the City of Geneva is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The French Revolution had just begun in 1789, and the Geneva Revolution had taken place in 1792, leading to the establishment of a new government and the adoption of the Sol as the official currency. This coin, made of Billon and weighing 0.93 grams, was likely used in everyday transactions during this time of upheaval and transformation.
