Interesting fact
The 2 Duplones 1796 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 a result of the government's attempt to introduce a new currency system and promote trade and commerce during this period of political upheaval.
