Interesting fact
The Duplone coin from the City of Bern, made of gold (.900) and weighing 7.64g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1793, just a few years after the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the European monetary system. The Duplone coin was one of the first coins to be minted in the new French Republican calendar, which was introduced in 1792 and was used until 1805. This fact highlights the coin's historical significance and the impact of political and economic changes on currency.
