Interesting fact
The 21 Sols 1711 coin from the City of Geneva is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis XIV of France, who was known for his centralization of power and the creation of a strong, modernized state. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination suggest that it was used for everyday transactions, and its design may have been influenced by the artistic and cultural trends of the time.
