Total mintage: 98 963 pieces.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Batzen coin from the Helvetic Republic (1798-1803) is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Switzerland. The Helvetic Republic was established in 1798 as a result of the French Revolutionary Wars, and it marked a period of significant political and social upheaval in the country. Despite this, the coinage of the time remained relatively consistent, with the 10 Batzen coin being one of the most widely used denominations. This coin is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Swiss people during a time of great change and uncertainty.
