Interesting fact
The 1813 ½ Batzen / 5 Rappen coin from the Canton of Lucerne is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The country was transitioning from a medieval society to a modern, federal state, and the introduction of a new currency system was part of this process. The Billon coinage, which was made of a copper and silver alloy, was introduced to replace the earlier debased currency and to promote economic stability. This coin, in particular, has a unique design and is a rare example of a coin from this time period, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
