Interesting fact
The ½ Batzen 1804 from the Canton of Vaud is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic upheaval in Switzerland, with the country facing invasion by French troops and economic sanctions from other European powers. Despite these challenges, the Vaud canton was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including the ½ Batzen 1804. This coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Vaud during a difficult period in their history.
