Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Haller "Bäggeli" coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the city of Lucerne during a time of economic turmoil. The coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, and it weighed only 0.14 grams, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin. Despite its small size, the coin played an important role in the local economy and was widely used by merchants and traders in the region.
