Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Batzen / 10 Rappen coin from Switzerland's Helvetic Republic (1798-1803) is that it was designed by the renowned Swiss engraver and medalist, Johann Conrad Weber. Weber was known for his detailed and intricate designs, and his work on this coin is no exception. The obverse of the coin features a beautiful depiction of a Helvetian shield with a patriotic motto, while the reverse features a detailed image of a bundle of arrows, symbolizing unity and strength. This coin is a testament to Weber's artistic skill and the rich history of Swiss numismatics.
