Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the Canton of Solothurn, made of Billon and weighing 2.51g, 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 decentralized, agrarian society to a more centralized, industrialized nation. The coin's design, featuring the Solothurn coat of arms and the Swiss cross, reflects this shift towards modernization and standardization. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper-silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was more durable and cost-effective than pure silver or copper. This coin is a tangible representation of the economic and political changes that were taking place in Switzerland during this time.
