Interesting fact

The Pattern 4 Kreuzers 1776 from the City of Bern, made of gold and weighing 4.66g, is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, a short-lived republic that was established in 1798 and lasted until 1803. This period saw significant political and social upheaval, including the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Despite this turmoil, the City of Bern continued to mint coins, including the Pattern 4 Kreuzers, which remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item to this day.
