Interesting fact
The 10 Kreuzers coin from the City of Bern, minted in 1679, is interesting because it was made during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity, having been formed just over a century prior. The coin's silver content and weight of 2.27 grams also make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
