Comment
Mint masters: Hans Wilhelm Krauer (1713-1715)Interesting fact
The 1713 ½ Batzen coin from the City of Lucerne is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was transitioning from using the traditional medieval currency system, which was based on the silver standard, to a new system based on the gold standard. This coin, made of Billon (a silver-copper alloy), was one of the last coins minted under the old system and is a rare example of a coin that was produced during this transitional period.
