Commentary
Ce type est frappé en 1813 et 1814. L'acte de médiation, traité signé entre Bonaparte Premier Consul et les cantons prend fin en décembre 1813 quand la Suisse s'émancipe de la tutelle française et regagne son indépendance. Le revers de cette pièce est à mettre en rapport avec les pièces de tir fédéral des cantons.
Historical background
SWITZERLAND - CANTON OF LUCERNE
The city grew around the Benedictine monastery founded in 750. It joined the Swiss Confederation as the fourth member in 1332. Lucerne, which remained the capital of Catholicism in Switzerland until the 19th century, had an oligarchic government which was overthrown in 1798, when the French arrived and seized the city. It becomes at one time the capital of the Helvetic Republic. Restored to its cantonal integrity by Bonaparte's act of mediation in 1803, Lucerne regained its independence in December 1813.
