Interesting fact

The 20 Kreuzer coin from the City of Solothurn, minted in 1785, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination made it a widely used and accessible form of currency for everyday transactions. Additionally, the coin's design, which features the coat of arms of Solothurn and the Swiss Confederation, reflects the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
