Interesting fact

The 10 Ducats 1681 from the City of Bern is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the City of Bern was an independent state, before it became part of the Swiss Confederation in 1848. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the City of Bern, and its rarity makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
