Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Cavallotto (Rössler) coin is that it features a unique design element - a horseman on the reverse side, which was a symbol of the canton of Uri. This design was used to represent the canton's independence and sovereignty, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued by the Monetary Union of Uri and Nidwalden during that time period.
