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 economic and political change in Switzerland. In 1811, the country was undergoing a period of modernization and centralization, and the introduction of a standardized currency was a key part of this process. The 10 Batzens 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 Fribourg. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
