Interesting fact
The 20 Kreuzers coin from the City of Bern, minted between 1797 and 1798, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. The use of silver in coins was a symbol of wealth and prosperity, and it was not uncommon for coins of this era to be made of lower-value metals like copper or bronze. The fact that this coin was made of silver speaks to the wealth and prestige of the City of Bern during this period.
