Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Rössler ND (1503-1548) coin from the Monetary Union of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden (Old Swiss Confederacy) is that it features a unique design that reflects the region's history and culture. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of a shield with the coat of arms of the three cantons, while the reverse side features a image of a key, which symbolizes the unity and strength of the confederacy. The use of silver in the coin's minting also adds to its value and historical significance, as silver was a highly valued metal during this time period.
