Comment
The KM#7 variety does not have branches on the obverse. The 1804 with branches is KM#8.Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen 1804 coin from the Canton of Vaud is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The country was transitioning from a collection of independent states to a unified federal state, and the introduction of a standardized currency was an important step in this process. The Batzen coin, which was worth 1/4 of a Swiss franc, was a key part of this effort and was used widely throughout the country. Despite its relatively small denomination, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
