Interesting fact
The 10 Batzen coin from the Canton of Aargau, made of silver and weighing 7.3g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval 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 10 Batzen coin was one of the few coins minted during this time. Despite the political instability of the period, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
