Comment
Similar to KM#172 (with lettering "CANTON").Interesting fact
The 1 Rappen coin from the Canton of Bern, made of Billon and weighing 0.7 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was introduced in 1818, just a few years after the Congress of Vienna, which established the Swiss Confederation and led to the creation of the Swiss franc as the country's official currency. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Despite its small denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of Swiss history and a testament to the country's economic development during the early 19th century.
