Interesting fact
The Bluzger 1738 coin from the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden is notable for its unique design, featuring a depiction of a bird, known as the "Bluzger," on one side, and the coat of arms of the canton on the other. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, in the coin's minting process adds to its historical significance, as it was a common practice in the region during that time period.
