Alain Alcouffe and I will resume our series on Adam Smith in Switzerland soon; in the meantime, pictured below is a Genevan coin for six sols minted in 1765, the year of Smith’s first and only visit to the small but prosperous Swiss city-state during his grand tour years with the 3d Duke of Buccleuch. (More details about the Republic of Geneva’s coinage in the 18th century are available here, via Wikipedia.)
