Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Franken 1813 coin from the Canton of Solothurn is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, which was a short-lived federal state that existed from 1798 to 1803. This period saw the introduction of a new currency, the Franken, which replaced the various local currencies that were previously used in different parts of the country. The 4 Franken coin was one of the denominations introduced during this time, and it was used widely in the Canton of Solothurn and other parts of Switzerland. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the Helvetic Republic played an important role in shaping Switzerland's political and economic landscape, and coins like the 4 Franken 1813 remain an interesting artifact from this period.
