Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Thaler 1561-1562 from Monetary Union of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden (Old Swiss Confederacy) made of Silver weighing 28.51g is that it was used as a medium of exchange in the Old Swiss Confederacy, which was a union of three cantons in Switzerland that was formed in the late 13th century. The Thaler coin was first introduced in the 16th century and was used widely in the Confederacy for trade and commerce. It was made of silver and had a standardized weight and purity, which made it a reliable and trustworthy form of currency. The Thaler coin was also used as a model for other coins in Europe, and its design and weight became a standard for other currencies. Today, the Thaler coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, and it is considered an important part of Swiss numismatic history.
