Interesting fact

The 2½ Batzen coin from the Canton of Lucerne, made of silver and weighing 1.92g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. In 1815, the Congress of Vienna had just taken place, which led to the reorganization of Europe's political landscape after the Napoleonic Wars. Additionally, this coin was minted during a period of economic growth and development in Switzerland, as the country began to industrialize and trade with other European nations. This coin is a small but fascinating piece of history that highlights the complex and dynamic nature of Europe during this time.
