Interesting fact
The 4 Franken coin from Canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden made of Silver weighing 29.87 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when Switzerland was still a loose confederation of cantons, and the currency was not yet standardized across the country. This coin, along with others like it, helped to establish a standardized currency system in Switzerland, which was a significant step towards the country's economic development.
