Interesting fact

The Haller ND (1400-1435) silver coin from the City of Bern is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Rudolf III of Austria, who was a member of the House of Habsburg and ruled over a large portion of Central Europe. The coin's design features the image of Saint Bernhard, the patron saint of the city of Bern, and the coat of arms of the city. Despite its small weight of 0.1 grams, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region and remains a valuable collector's item today.
