Interesting fact
The Dicken coin from the City of Bern, Switzerland, was minted in 1610 and made of silver. It weighs 9.47 grams and is considered a standard circulation coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or other symbols, the Dicken coin features a image of a bear, which is the city's symbol. This design was chosen to represent the city's strength and resilience, as well as its connection to the natural world.
