Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 30 Kreuzers 1657 coin from the City of Bern is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many countries were struggling to rebuild their economies and stabilize their currencies. The City of Bern, which was a prominent trading center at the time, issued this coin as a way to facilitate commerce and trade within its borders. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin was made with high-quality silver, indicating the value that the city placed on its currency and its desire to maintain economic stability.
