Interesting fact
The ⅙ Batzen 1842 coin from the Canton of the Grisons is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the period of the Swiss Confederation, which was a loose alliance of cantons that lasted from 1815 to 1848. This was a time of economic and political upheaval, as Switzerland was trying to establish itself as a unified nation. The ⅙ Batzen coin was one of the first coins to be issued by the Grisons canton, and it was used as a means of facilitating trade and commerce within the region. Despite its small denomination, the coin is a significant piece of Swiss numismatic history and is highly sought after by collectors today.
