Interesting fact
The 10 Batzens coin from the Canton of Fribourg, made of silver and weighing 7.50g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. In 1812, the country was under French occupation, and the Canton of Fribourg was one of the few cantons that maintained its independence. The coin's design, featuring the Fribourg coat of arms and the Swiss cross, reflects this unique historical context.
