Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen 1829 coin from the Canton of Fribourg 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 mintage was a result of the federal government's effort to standardize currency across the country, which previously had a diverse array of currencies issued by various cantons and cities. This standardization helped to facilitate trade and commerce across Switzerland, contributing to its economic growth and development during the 19th century.
