Interesting fact
The 10 Kreuzer coin from the City of Solothurn, minted in 1785, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Habsburg Empire. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination made it a widely used and accessible form of currency for everyday transactions. Additionally, the coin's design features a unique blend of medieval and Renaissance elements, reflecting the cultural and artistic influences of the time.
