Interesting fact

The 10 Schilling coin from the Canton of Zurich, made of silver and weighing 4.65g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The coin was issued between 1806 and 1811, a period when Switzerland was under French occupation and the country was undergoing significant political and economic reforms. The coin's design, featuring the coat of arms of Zurich on one side and the Swiss cross on the other, reflects the tumultuous period in which it was minted. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into Switzerland's rich cultural heritage.
