Interesting fact
The 10 Kreuzers 1715 coin from the City of Bern is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity, having been formed just over a century prior. The coin's design, which features the Bernese coat of arms and the Swiss cross, reflects the city's pride in its membership in the Confederation and its commitment to the values of neutrality and independence that the Confederation represented. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the importance of trade and commerce in the region during this time period.
