Interesting fact
The 1 Batzen 1826 coin from the Canton of Basel made of Billon weighing 2.49g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic (1798-1803), a short-lived republic that was established after the French Revolution. The Helvetic Republic was a time of great social, economic, and political upheaval in Switzerland, and the minting of this coin reflects the efforts of the government to establish a new currency system and promote economic stability during this period.
