Interesting fact

The 1 Rappen 1834 coin from the Canton of Lucerne made of Copper is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was transitioning from a loose association of states to a more centralized federal state. This coin, along with others minted during this period, played a significant role in the development of the Swiss monetary system and paved the way for the modern Swiss franc.
