Interesting fact
The Thaler coin was used as a standardized currency across different regions in Europe during the 18th century, and the City of Zürich's version was particularly notable for its high silver content. The coin's design featured the city's coat of arms on one side and the image of a crowned eagle on the other. The Thaler was widely used for trade and commerce, and its popularity helped to establish the City of Zürich as a major economic center in Europe during that time.
