Interesting fact

The 20 Schillings coin from the City of Zurich, made of silver and weighing 8.59g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Charles VI, who ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1707 to 1716. This was a period of significant economic growth and trade, and the coin was likely used extensively in commercial transactions throughout Europe. Additionally, the coin's design features the coat of arms of the City of Zurich, which is a unique and distinctive feature compared to other coins of the time.
