Interesting fact
The Dicken coin from the City of Bern, made of silver and weighing 6.89g, was minted in 1620 during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for currency to finance military expenses and other costs associated with the conflict. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
