Interesting fact
The ½ Batzen coin from the Principality of Neuchâtel, minted in 1807 under the reign of Alexandre Berthier, was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still holds significant historical value and is highly sought after by collectors today.
