Comment
1813, with star varietyInteresting fact
The 3 Soldi coin from the Canton of Ticino, made of Billon and weighing 1.8g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in the canton during a time of economic and political change. The coin was introduced in 1813, just a few years after the Congress of Vienna, which had established a new political order in Europe, and it remained in circulation until 1841, when the Swiss Federal State began to issue its own currency. During this time, the Canton of Ticino was an independent state within the Swiss Confederation, and the coin was a symbol of its economic and political sovereignty.
