Interesting fact
The 10 Kreuzer coin from the City of Solothurn, made of silver and weighing 2 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity, having been formed in 1291. The coin's design likely reflects the cultural and political influences of the time, and its silver content would have made it a valuable and reliable form of currency for everyday transactions.
