Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Duplones 1837 from the Canton of Bern is a rare and interesting coin, and one fascinating fact about it is that it was designed by the renowned Swiss engraver, Carl Friedrich Voigt. Voigt was known for his exceptional skill in creating intricate designs, and his work on the Pattern 2 Duplones 1837 is a testament to his artistry. The coin's obverse features a detailed image of a Bernese bear, while the reverse showcases the Swiss cross surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, all expertly crafted by Voigt's skilled hands. This coin is not only a valuable piece of numismatic history but also a beautiful example of Voigt's artistic talent.
