Interesting fact
The ½ Batzen / 5 Rappen coin from the Canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was introduced in 1808, just a few years after the country had adopted a new federal constitution and was in the process of transforming from a loose confederation of states to a more centralized nation-state. Despite the challenges of this period, the coin remained in circulation for over eight years, indicating its importance in the everyday lives of the people of Appenzell Ausserrhoden.
