1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: The Swiss Confederation 10 Rappen Coin of 1885" This photograph showcases a historical Swiss Confederation 10 Rappen coin from the year 1885. The coin, which is 1/100th of a Swiss Franc, is an intriguing piece of Helvetic history from the 1880s. On the obverse side of the coin, an allegorical profile of Liberta, the personification of freedom, graces the head. Liberta, with her radiant and determined expression, symbolizes the spirit of liberty that has long defined the Swiss Confederation. The reverse side of the coin features a beautiful wreath of leaves and flowers, encircling the coin's edge. The intricate design is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and artistic skill of the Swiss mint during this era. The Swiss Confederation 10 Rappen coin was minted in silver, making it a valuable and sought-after collectible for numismatists and history enthusiasts. The coin's design reflects the artistic and cultural sensibilities of the late 19th century, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. The Swiss Confederation, also known as the Helvetic Confederation, was a historical alliance of three original cantons – Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden – that later grew into the modern Swiss Federation. The 10 Rappen coin is a testament to the rich history and enduring spirit of this remarkable European nation. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a captivating and educational look into the past, inviting us to explore the history and culture of the Swiss Confederation in the late 19th century.
