Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rappe 1807 coin from the Canton of Vaud is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Switzerland. The country was facing financial difficulties and political tensions, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the "Billon," which was made of a copper-silver alloy. The 1 Rappe coin was one of the denominations minted using this new currency, and it was used widely in the Canton of Vaud and other parts of Switzerland. Despite the challenges faced during its production, the 1 Rappe coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
