Interesting fact
The Thaler 1721 from the City of Geneva is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time when Geneva was an independent republic, and it features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the motto "Post Tenebras Lux" (After Darkness, Light) on the other. This motto was a reference to the city's emergence from a period of political and religious turmoil and its commitment to the principles of the Reformation. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time, and it was used as a standard unit of currency in Geneva and other parts of Europe.
