Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the Canton of St. Gallen, made of Billon and weighing 2.46g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, which was established in 1798 and lasted until 1803, when Switzerland became a confederation of cantons. This period saw significant changes in the country's currency and monetary system, and the 1 Batzen coin was one of the first coins to be issued by the Helvetic Republic. Despite its relatively small denomination, the coin is a valuable piece of Swiss numismatic history.
