Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Ducats 1825 from Canton of Bern is that it was minted during a time of economic and political significance for Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, a short-lived federal state that existed from 1798 to 1803, and its minting was a symbol of the young nation's ambition to establish itself as a sovereign state. Despite the challenges faced by the Helvetic Republic, the coin remains a valuable piece of Swiss history and a testament to the country's resilience and determination.
