Interesting fact
The 4 Kreuzer coin from the City of Solothurn, made of Billon and weighing 2.44g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1760, just a few years before the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, which had a profound impact on the European economy and monetary systems. Despite the challenges of this time period, the City of Solothurn was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as this 4 Kreuzer piece. This fact highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Solothurn during a period of significant upheaval.
