Interesting fact
The 1 Rappen coin from the Canton of Aargau, made of Billon and weighing 0.6g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the period of the Helvetic Republic (1798-1803), which was established following the French Revolution and the subsequent occupation of Switzerland by French troops. The Helvetic Republic was a short-lived attempt to create a unified Swiss state, and the coinage issued during this time reflects the political and economic upheaval of the era. The 1 Rappen coin, in particular, was minted in the Canton of Aargau, which was one of the cantons that resisted the Helvetic Republic and maintained its independence. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Switzerland during this time and the challenges faced by the young nation.
