Interesting fact

The 1 Rappen coin from the Canton of Schwyz, made of copper and weighing 1.2g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Switzerland. The coin was issued between 1815 and 1846, a period that saw the country transition from a loose confederation of states to a federal state with a centralized government. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained a stable and widely used denomination, reflecting the importance of coinage in everyday transactions during this time.
