Interesting fact

The Guldiner coin from the City of Fribourg, made of silver and weighing 28.19g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Renaissance period in Europe, specifically in the 16th century. It was a widely used coin in trade and commerce, and its design featured the image of a knight on horseback, symbolizing the power and influence of the city-state of Fribourg.
