Interesting fact

The 1 Batzen / 10 Rappen coin from the Canton of Lucerne, made of Billon and weighing 2.5g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was minted during the period of the Helvetic Republic (1798-1803), which was established following the French Revolution and the subsequent occupation of Switzerland by French troops. The Helvetic Republic was a short-lived attempt to create a unified Swiss state, and the coinage issued during this time reflects the political and economic upheaval of the era. The 1 Batzen / 10 Rappen coin, with its unique design and composition, is a tangible reminder of this pivotal moment in Swiss history.
