Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen 1806 coin from the Canton of Fribourg is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. In 1803, the Swiss Confederation was reorganized into a more centralized state, and the use of foreign currencies was abolished. This led to the introduction of a new currency, the Swiss franc, which replaced the various local currencies that had been used throughout the country. The 1 Batzen coin was one of the first coins to be minted in the new currency, and it features a unique design that reflects the history and culture of the Canton of Fribourg. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item and a symbol of Swiss history and culture.
