Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 7 Kreuzers coin from the City of Fribourg is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The late 18th century was a period of Enlightenment and Revolution, with the French Revolution beginning in 1789 and the fall of the Bastille. This coin was minted just a few years before these events, and it's interesting to think about the context in which it was created and used.
