Interesting fact
The 1 Rappen 1804 coin from the Canton of Lucerne is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. In 1803, the Swiss Confederation was reorganized into a more centralized state, and the use of local currencies like the Rappen was gradually phased out in favor of a standardized national currency. As a result, coins like the 1 Rappen 1804 from Lucerne are a rare and valuable reminder of this transitional period in Swiss history.
