Interesting fact
The ½ Batzen coin from the Canton of Schaffhausen, made of Billon and weighing 2.0 g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued in 1809, just a few years after the French Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Helvetic Republic, which had a significant impact on the country's economy and currency. Despite these challenges, the Canton of Schaffhausen was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the ½ Batzen, which remained in circulation until the mid-19th century. This fact highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Schaffhausen during a period of great upheaval.
