Interesting fact

The 15 Kreuzers coin from the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden, made of silver and weighing 4.75g, is interesting because it was minted during a time when the canton was still using the old Swiss currency, which was later replaced by the Swiss franc in 1850. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of 18th-century Switzerland.
