Interesting fact
The Schilling coin from the City of Lucerne, made of Billon and weighing 1.0g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a young nation. The coin was minted between 1596 and 1605, a period of significant political and economic change in Switzerland. The Schilling was an important denomination at the time, and its use in Lucerne reflects the city's role as a commercial hub in the region. Despite its small size, the coin played a big role in the local economy and was likely used in everyday transactions by the residents of Lucerne.
