Commentary


Un édit du 15 octobre 1794 substitue à l’ancien système duodécimal un système décimal. L’écu appelé “Genevoise” remplace le florin. Sont frappées des monnaies en argent de 1/2 Décime (5 Centimes), 1 Décime (10 Centimes) et 1 Genevoise. Ce système est abandonné dès 1795..

The Republic of Geneva was proclaimed on May 21, 1536 and the reformed religion became the state religion. Education becomes compulsory and free.
