Interesting fact

The coin was issued in the midst of the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods, which saw significant advancements in trade, commerce, and the arts. Additionally, the coin was minted during a time of political upheaval, as the Swiss Confederation, of which Obwalden was a part, was undergoing significant changes in its political structure.
