Interesting fact
The 10 Batzen coin from the Canton of Lucerne, made of silver and weighing 7.0g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The early 19th century saw the country transitioning from a loose confederation of states to a more centralized federal state, and the introduction of a standardized currency was an important step in this process. The 10 Batzen coin was one of the first coins to be minted under this new system, and it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and historical significance of the Canton of Lucerne.
