Interesting fact

The Duplone coin from the City of Bern, made of gold (.900) and weighing 7.64g, is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The French Revolution had a significant impact on Switzerland, and the country was facing economic challenges, including inflation and a lack of currency. The Duplone coin was minted as a response to these challenges, and it was intended to be used as a stable currency that could be trusted by the people. Despite its value, the coin was not widely accepted, and it is now considered a rare collector's item.
