Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 6 Deniers 1819-1833 from Canton of Geneva made of Billon weighing 0.85g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the period of the Helvetic Republic, which was established in 1798 and lasted until 1803. This was a time of significant political upheaval and economic instability, and the minting of coins was an important way for the government to maintain economic stability and promote trade. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of early 19th-century Switzerland.
