Interesting fact

The 1 Batzen / 10 Rappen coin from the Canton of Lucerne, made of Billon and weighing 2.56g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. In 1813, the country was undergoing a period of modernization and centralization, and the introduction of a standardized currency was a key part of this process. The coin's design, featuring the Lucerne coat of arms and the Swiss cross, reflects the canton's pride in its heritage and its newfound unity with the rest of Switzerland. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant piece of Swiss history and a reminder of the country's ongoing commitment to financial stability and innovation.
