Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Rappen coin from Switzerland is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "H" on the reverse side, which represents the Helvetic Republic. This letter was specifically designed for the coinage of the Helvetic Republic and was not used on any other coins. This makes the Pattern 1 Rappen coin a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Swiss coinage.
