Interesting fact

The 1 Batzen 1826 coin from the Canton of Aargau made of Billon weighing 2.5 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. The country was transitioning from a decentralized, agrarian society to a more centralized, industrialized nation. The coin's design, featuring the Aargau coat of arms and the Swiss cross, reflects this shift towards modernization and standardization. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this period, as it was more durable and cost-effective than pure silver or gold. This coin is a tangible representation of the economic and political developments taking place in Switzerland during the early 19th century.
