Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 16 Franken 1813 coin from the Canton of Solothurn is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, a short-lived federal state that existed from 1798 to 1803, and its value was equivalent to 16 Franken, which was a significant amount at the time. Despite being made of gold, the coin was still used for everyday transactions, highlighting the value and importance of gold as a medium of exchange during this period.
