Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Schillings 1773 coin from the City of Zurich is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, a short-lived republic that was established in 1798 and lasted until 1803. This period saw significant changes in the country's political and economic systems, including the introduction of a new currency system and the abolition of feudalism. Despite the turmoil of this time, the 20 Schillings coin remained a stable and widely used denomination, reflecting the importance of silver coins in everyday transactions.
