Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 3 Haller (Klippe) ND (1806-1848) from Canton of Zürich made of Billon weighing 0.92 g 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 existed from 1798 to 1803, and was replaced by the Swiss Confederation. This period of political upheaval and transition had a significant impact on the economy and currency of Switzerland, and the minting of this coin reflects the efforts of the government to stabilize the economy and maintain the trust of the people during this time.
