BATZEN

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 in Europe. The Napoleonic Wars had recently ended, and the Swiss Confederation was in the process of reforming its currency. The Canton of Aargau, like many other cantons, began minting its own coins during this period, and the 10 Batzen coin was one of the first coins to be minted. It features the coat of arms of the Canton of Aargau on one side and the value on the other. Despite its age, some of these coins are still in circulation today, making them a valuable piece of numismatic history.
