Comment
Note: The 1851 date was not a legal tender issue and is considered a Shooting Thaler.Interesting fact
The 10 Francs coin from the Canton of Geneva, made of silver and weighing 52.2g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Switzerland. The coin was issued between 1848 and 1851, a period when Switzerland was transitioning from a confederation of states to a federal state. The coin's design, featuring the coat of arms of Geneva and the Swiss cross, symbolizes the unity and independence of the Swiss people during this time of transformation.
