Interesting fact

The Rappen ND coin from the City of Zürich was minted in the 19th century, and it features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the Swiss cross on the other. The coat of arms includes a depiction of a bear, which is a symbol of strength and courage, and has been associated with the city of Zürich for centuries.
