Interesting fact
The 10 Kreuzers 1797 coin was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The French Revolution had a significant impact on Switzerland, leading to the Helvetic Republic being established in 1798. The coin's mintage was likely affected by these events, with some sources suggesting that it was minted in smaller quantities than other coins of the time. This could make it a particularly interesting and valuable addition to a coin collection.
