Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen coin from the Canton of the Grisons, made of Billon and weighing 2.58g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The early 19th century saw the country 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 Batzen coin, which was used throughout the Grisons region, was one of the first standardized coins to be introduced in Switzerland and played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce across the country.
