Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Teston (Dicken) 1561-1562 from City of Geneva made of Silver weighing 9.15g is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe, particularly in Geneva, which was a hub of the Protestant Reformation. The coin's design and symbolism likely reflect the political and religious ideologies of the time, making it a unique and fascinating piece of history.
