Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Batzen / 5 Rappen coin from the Canton of Vaud is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the period of the Helvetic Republic, which was established in 1798 and lasted until 1803, when Switzerland became a confederation of cantons. This coin was minted during the brief period of unity and political stability in Switzerland, before the country returned to a more decentralized form of government.
