Interesting fact
The Pattern Kreuzer 1792 from City of Bern is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic upheaval in Europe, with the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars causing widespread disruption and change. Despite this turmoil, the City of Bern was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including the Pattern Kreuzer 1792. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Bern during a time of great uncertainty and change.
