Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the Canton of Fribourg, minted between 1827 and 1828, is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the 19th century for coinage. Billon is a combination of copper and silver, with a small amount of other metals like nickel or zinc. The use of Billon in coinage was a cost-effective way to produce coins, as it was less expensive than using pure silver or gold. Despite its relatively low value, the 1 Batzen coin from Fribourg is still a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
