Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen / 10 Rappen 1811 coin from the Canton of Fribourg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The country was transitioning from a medieval society to a modern, federal state, and the coinage of the time reflects this shift. The Billon used to make this coin was a common alloy of copper and silver, and it was used to create a wide range of coins across Europe during this period. Despite its relatively small denomination, this coin is a fascinating piece of history that offers a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of early 19th-century Switzerland.
