Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen 1826 coin from the Canton of Basel made of Billon weighing 2.6 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, which was a short-lived federal state that existed from 1798 to 1803. This period saw the introduction of a new currency, the Batzen, which replaced the various local currencies that were previously used in different regions of Switzerland. The 1 Batzen coin was a significant denomination at the time and was used widely in everyday transactions. Despite its relatively low value, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
