Interesting fact
The Thaler 1713-1717 from City of Zürich was used as a means of payment in the city and its surrounding areas for over a century, until it was replaced by the Swiss franc in 1850. Despite being out of circulation for over 150 years, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
