Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Batzen coin from the Canton of Vaud is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The coin was introduced in 1804, 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 political and economic systems. Additionally, the coin was minted during a period of economic turmoil, as Switzerland was facing inflation and financial difficulties. Despite these challenges, the 1 Batzen coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the region.
