Interesting fact
The 10 Kreuzers 1722 coin from the City of Zofingen (Aargau) 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 silver content and weight of 2.27 grams also make it a notable example of early European coinage.
