Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 56 Kreuzers 1796-1797 coin from the City of Fribourg is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic upheaval in Europe. The French Revolution, which began in 1789, had a significant impact on the Swiss Confederation, and the City of Fribourg was no exception. The coin's minting was likely a response to the economic and political changes that were taking place at the time, and it serves as a tangible reminder of this period in history.
