Interesting fact
The coin , the 24 Sols 1634-1636 from City of Geneva, is a rare and valuable coin that is highly sought after by collectors. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, known as the Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648. Despite the conflict, the City of Geneva was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as this one, which feature the city's iconic coat of arms and the motto "Post Tenebras Lux" (After Darkness, Light).
