Interesting fact
The 3 Schillings / 9 Rappen coin from the Canton of Glarus, made of Billon and weighing 2.19g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was minted during the period of the Helvetic Republic (1798-1803), which was a short-lived republic that was established after the French Revolution. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Canton of Glarus on one side and the value and year of minting on the other. It is a rare and valuable coin among collectors today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars.
