Interesting fact
The 1 Rappen coin from the Helvetic Republic (1798-1803) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The Helvetic Republic was established in 1798 as a result of the French Revolution and the invasion of Switzerland by French troops. The new government aimed to create a more centralized and modern state, and the minting of the 1 Rappen coin was part of this effort. The coin was made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, and weighed 0.66 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the 1 Rappen coin played an important role in the economy of the Helvetic Republic and remains a valuable collector's item today.
