| Additional information |
Lucerne's 20 Kreuzer of 1795–96 was struck in the final years of the Old Swiss Confederacy, a political structure that would collapse entirely when French forces invaded in 1798 and imposed the Helvetic Republic. The canton's independent coinage authority vanished with it. These pieces had barely two years of legitimate issuing life before the institution that sanctioned them ceased to exist.
