Comment
No known original pieces.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Scudo d'Oro ND (1503-1548) coin from the Monetary Union of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden (Old Swiss Confederacy) made of Gold is that it was used as a medium of exchange and store of value during a time when the Swiss Confederacy was still a relatively new political entity. The coin was first introduced in 1503 and was used until 1548, a period of 45 years. During this time, the Swiss Confederacy was going through significant political and economic changes, including the expansion of its territory and the development of its economy. The Scudo d'Oro ND coin was an important part of this process, as it helped to facilitate trade and commerce within the Confederacy and beyond.
