Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Sols 1619-1661 from City of Geneva made of Billon weighing 2 g is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The 17th century was marked by political and religious conflicts, as well as the emergence of new trade routes and technologies. Despite these challenges, the City of Geneva was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the 3 Sols coin was an important symbol of this success.
