Interesting fact

The Dicken coin from the Talschaft of Uri, made of silver and weighing 8.44g, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the 17th century, specifically between 1612 and 1614. It was a standard circulation coin during that time, and its value was equivalent to a small amount of silver. Despite its age, the coin has been well-preserved, and collectors today can still appreciate its beauty and historical significance.
