Interesting fact
The 3 Schillings / 9 Rappen 1806 coin from the Canton of Glarus is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, which was established in 1798 and lasted until 1803, when Switzerland became a confederation of cantons. The coin's design, featuring the coat of arms of Glarus and the value in both Schillings and Rappen, reflects the canton's independence and sovereignty during this period. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time due to the scarcity of precious metals.
