Interesting fact

The Dicken coin from the Talschaft of Uri, made of silver and weighing 7.62g, 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 1617 and 1622. It was a standard circulation coin during that time, and its use spread beyond the Talschaft of Uri to other regions as well. Despite being over 400 years old, this coin remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians alike.
