Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Duplone 1787 coin from the City of Solothurn is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The late 18th century saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the fall of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Swiss Confederation, of which Solothurn was a part, was undergoing significant political and economic reforms. The minting of this coin, which was used as a standard circulation coin, reflects the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region during this time.
