Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Rappen 1842 coin from the Canton of Zurich is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Switzerland. The country was facing a financial crisis, and the government was forced to debase its currency by introducing a new coinage system that included the 2 Rappen coin, which was made of a copper-nickel alloy called Billon. Despite the economic challenges, the coin remained in circulation for several decades and is now a sought-after collector's item.
