Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Francs 1848 coin from the Canton of Geneva is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was introduced as part of the new Swiss franc currency system, which replaced the old system of cantonal currencies. This change was prompted by the need for a more standardized and stable currency system, as Switzerland was experiencing rapid economic growth and industrialization. The 20 Francs coin was made of gold (.750) and weighed 7.6000 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after coin among collectors today.
