Interesting fact
The Duplone coin from the Canton of Bern, made of gold (.900) and weighing 7.64g, is a rare and valuable coin. It was minted in 1829 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the region. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of a bear, which is the symbol of the Canton of Bern, and the reverse side featuring a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the coat of arms of Bern. The coin's design was created by the Swiss engraver, Karl Friedrich Voigt, and it is considered a work of art in its own right. Additionally, the use of gold in the coin's composition gives it a high intrinsic value, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
