Interesting fact
The 20 Kreuzer 1793 coin was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The French Revolution had a significant impact on Switzerland, leading to the Helvetic Republic being established in 1798. The coin's design, featuring the Lucerne lion and the Swiss cross, reflects the political and cultural ties between the City of Lucerne and the wider Swiss Confederation during this period.
