Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the Canton of Solothurn, made of Billon and weighing 2.62g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued in 1807, just a few years after the French Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Helvetic Republic, which had a significant impact on the country's currency and economy. Despite these changes, the 1 Batzen coin remained a standard circulation coin and was widely used in everyday transactions.
