Interesting fact
The 2 Rappen coin from the Canton of Bern, made of Billon and weighing 1.5g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. In 1809, the country was facing economic difficulties and political tensions, which led to the creation of the Swiss Federal State in 1848. Despite these challenges, the coin remained in circulation and was a vital part of everyday transactions for the people of Bern. Today, it is a valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into Switzerland's rich history and the resilience of its people.
