Interesting fact
The 10 Kreuzers coin from the City of Bern, minted between 1755 and 1756, is interesting because it was made during a time when the Swiss Confederation was transitioning from using local currencies to a standardized national currency. This coin, made of silver and weighing 2.02 grams, was part of the new standardized currency system and features the coat of arms of Bern on one side and the Swiss cross on the other. Its design and weight were carefully regulated to ensure consistency and authenticity, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
