Interesting fact
The Thaler 1798 from the City of Bern is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, a short-lived republic that was established in Switzerland after the French Revolution. This period saw the introduction of new currency and the abolition of old feudal systems, making the Thaler 1798 a symbol of the economic and political shifts that were taking place at the time.
