Interesting fact
The Thaler ND (1551-1565) coin from the Monetary Union of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden (Old Swiss Confederacy) is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a depiction of a federal state, rather than a single ruler or territory. This coin features an image of a shield with the coats of arms of the three cantons, symbolizing the unity and cooperation of the three states. This coin was also made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time, and it weighed 28.39 grams, making it a substantial coin.
