Interesting fact
The 2½ Rappen coin from the Canton of Solothurn, made of Billon and weighing 1.0 g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. In the early 19th century, the country was transitioning from a decentralized, agrarian society to a more centralized, industrialized nation. The introduction of a standardized coinage system, such as the 2½ Rappen coin, helped to facilitate this transition by promoting economic unity and stability across the different cantons.
