Interesting fact
The 18 Deniers / 6 Quarts coin from the City of Geneva, made of Billon and weighing 1.1g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted in the early 17th century, 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 this time.
