Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 16 Franken 1813 coin from the Canton of the Grisons is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The Congress of Vienna, which took place in 1815, led to the reorganization of Europe and the formation of the Swiss Confederation, of which the Grisons was a part. This coin, minted just two years prior, represents a unique moment in Swiss history and serves as a tangible reminder of the country's evolution during that time.
