Interesting fact
The 10 Kreuzer coin from the City of Solothurn, made of silver and weighing 2g, is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity, having been formed just over 100 years prior. The coin's design likely reflects the influence of the Confederation's member states, and its silver content would have been a valuable resource at the time. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin suggests that it was widely used in everyday transactions, making it a piece of history that connects us to the past.
