1 Silbertaler Bern

The "Silbertaler Bern" is not a federal Swiss issue but a canton-level fantasy piece — struck by the city of Bern outside the official coinage system and intended from the outset as a souvenir and collector item rather than circulating currency. The X# prefix in the standard reference confirms this status as an unofficial local issue.

Bern produced these during a period when Swiss municipalities occasionally commissioned such pieces to capitalize on tourist trade and civic pride. No monetary authority backed them.
