Interesting fact
The 20 Kreuzer coin from the City of Solothurn, made of silver and weighing 4.3 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity, having been formed just a few decades prior in 1707. The coin's design likely reflects the cultural and political influences of the time, making it a unique piece of history.
