Interesting fact

The 1 Batzen coin from the Canton of Schaffhausen, made of Billon and weighing 2.7 grams, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. In 1809, the country was facing financial difficulties and political instability, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the Batzen, to replace the existing currency, the Gulden. The Batzen was divided into 40 Rappen, and the 1 Batzen coin was one of the most widely used denominations. Despite the challenges faced by Switzerland during this time, the 1 Batzen coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
