Interesting fact
The 2 Francs 1835 coin from the Canton of Bern is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Switzerland. The coin was minted in 1835, just a few years after the Swiss Federal Constitution was adopted in 1848, which established Switzerland as a federal state. This coin is a symbol of the transition from a collection of independent cantons to a unified nation. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 14.51 grams makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
