Interesting fact
The Dicken coin from the Talschaft of Uri, which was minted between 1615 and 1617, features an image of a bird on its reverse side. This bird is believed to be a representation of the golden eagle, which is a symbol of power and strength in Swiss culture. The inclusion of this image on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea that the coin itself holds great value and is a symbol of the wealth and prosperity of the region.
