Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen / 10 Rappen coin from the Canton of Lucerne, made of Billon and weighing 2.6g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The early 19th century saw the country transitioning from a collection of independent states to a unified federal state, and the introduction of a standardized currency was an important 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 history and its newfound unity with the rest of Switzerland.
