Interesting fact
The Plappart coin from the City of Bern, which was minted between 1388 and 1400, features a large eagle on one side and a shield with the city's coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 2.23 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in Switzerland. The coin's design reflects the city's growing wealth and influence during this period, and it's a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the mint workers who created it.
