Interesting fact

The Sonnenkrone coin from the Monetary Union of Uri and Nidwalden (Old Swiss Confederacy) is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a depiction of the sun on its design, which was a symbol of the rising power and influence of the Swiss Confederacy during that time.
