Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅙ Batzen coin from the Canton of the Grisons is that it was minted during a time of political and economic change in Switzerland. The coin was introduced in 1807, just a few years after the formation of the Swiss Confederation, and it was used as a standard circulation coin until 1820.
