Interesting fact
The 12 Sols coin from the City of Geneva, made of silver and weighing 2.4 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1654, a period marked by the Thirty Years War, which had a profound impact on trade and commerce across the continent. Despite these challenges, the City of Geneva continued to mint coins, demonstrating the city's resilience and economic strength during a time of turmoil.
