| Aanvullende informatie |
Geneva struck cantonal coinage on borrowed time. The Federal Constitution of 1848 would strip Swiss cantons of their minting authority within months of this coin's production, making 1847 one of the final years Geneva could legally issue its own currency. The transition to a unified federal coinage system was contentious — Geneva, with its long tradition of independent monetary policy rooted in its role as a banking and trade hub, resisted the centralization longer than most cantons.
The dual KM references reflect a documented die variety distinction between KM#135 and KM#136 for this type.
