Interesting fact

The 1 Batzen 1826 coin from the Canton of Bern is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued just a few years after the Congress of Vienna, which established a new political order in Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. Additionally, the coin was minted during a period of economic growth and industrialization in Switzerland, which saw the rise of new technologies and industries, such as textiles and railroads. This coin is a tangible reminder of that pivotal time in Swiss history.
