Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Rappen coin from Switzerland is that it was designed by the artist and engraver, Paul Burkhard. He was a prominent figure in Swiss numismatics and designed several coins for the country, including this one. His design features a wreath of oak leaves and acorns, which is a common motif in Swiss coinage, surrounding the denomination. The coin was minted from 1932 to 1941, and its bronze composition was used to reduce the cost of production during a time of economic hardship in Switzerland.
