Interesting fact
The 2 Duplones 1798 coin from the City of Bern is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, a short-lived republic that was established in Switzerland after the French Revolution. The coin's mintage was intended to help stabilize the economy and promote trade, but it ultimately became a symbol of the tumultuous period in which it was created. Despite its historical significance, the coin remains a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few examples known to exist today.
