Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the Canton of Aargau, made of Billon and weighing 2.5 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. In the early 19th century, the country was transitioning from a loose confederation of states to a more centralized federal state, and the introduction of a standardized currency was an important part of this process. The 1 Batzen coin was one of the first coins to be minted under this new system, and it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and historical context of the time.
