Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Assis 1728 coin from the Republic of Obwalden (Unterwalden) is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper or tin, and was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The use of Billon in the production of coins like the Assis 1728 allowed for the creation of currency that was both practical and aesthetically pleasing, and it remains a unique and interesting aspect of this coin's history.
