Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 28 Kreuzers coin from the City of Fribourg is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The French Revolution, which began in 1789, had a significant impact on the Swiss Confederation, and the City of Fribourg was no exception. The coin's minting during this period reflects the city's efforts to maintain its independence and economic stability amidst the surrounding political upheaval.
