[QUOTE="shanxi, post: 3923225, member: 101607"][USER=96898]@Orielensis[/USER] The change of the design was definitely earlier than the 15th century. You have seen the brakreates from the 14th century. Here are later coins, 1425, 1498 and 1723. The design is basically the same: [ATTACH=full]1034247[/ATTACH] 1425 [ATTACH=full]1034248[/ATTACH] 1498 [ATTACH=full]1034249[/ATTACH] 1723 It is possible that in the beginning the idea was to create a different eagle, but that the results looks like a raven (which are common birds in the region) and quickly was called raven. Some historians also believe that the Rappenbund (a monetary union between todays southern germany and todays switzerland) had his name from the raven coins. "Rabe" in german, "Rapp" in the local swith and south german dialect. The Rappenbund extisted before the 15th century. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rappen[/URL][/QUOTE]
