Interesting fact

The Thaler "Gessnertaler" 1773 from the City of Zurich is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity, having been formed just over 50 years prior. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Zurich on one side and an image of a plowman on the other, symbolizing the city's agricultural heritage. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 26.39 grams make it a valuable and collectible item among numismatists today.
