Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Gulden (Baroque shield; curved inscription) 1714 from City of Lucerne made of Silver weighing 13.3 g is that it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity, having been formed in 1291. The coin's design, featuring a Baroque shield and curved inscription, reflects the artistic styles popular during that era. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Switzerland and its currency.
