Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Münzgulden coin from the City of Lucerne is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, which was 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 and the abolition of feudalism. Despite the turmoil of this time, the 24 Münzgulden coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
