Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzers coin from the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden, made of silver and weighing 4.68g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued in 1738, just a few years after the Swiss Confederation was formed, and it reflects the efforts of the young nation to establish a standardized currency system. The coin's design, featuring the Appenzell Innerrhoden coat of arms and the Swiss cross, symbolizes the canton's connection to the larger Swiss nation and its commitment to the principles of independence and self-governance. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, a testament to the enduring legacy of Swiss numismatics.
