The Berne Thaler was a coin equivalent to the French silver écu (German: laubthaler) issued by the Swiss Canton of Bern. It contained 26.67 g fine silver and was valued at 4 livres.
The currency of Bern was the livre (later, franc or frank), divided into 10 batzen or 40 kreuzer.
The laubthaler or écu was also equivalent to 4 franken of the Helvetic Republic, and afterwards to 4 Berne franken and 4 Vaud francs.
