Interesting fact

The Kreuzer coin from the City of Solothurn was minted during a time when the city was part of the Old Swiss Confederacy, a union of Swiss cantons that existed from the late medieval period to the early modern period. The coin's design likely features the city's coat of arms or other symbols associated with the confederacy.
