Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Duplone coin from the City of Solothurn is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The French Revolution had a significant impact on Switzerland, leading to the Helvetic Republic being established in 1798, and the coin was minted during this period of transition.
