Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Rappen coin from Switzerland is that it was minted during World War II, specifically between 1942 and 1946. During this time, Switzerland remained neutral and did not participate in the war, and the coin's design and production were likely influenced by the country's desire to maintain its neutrality. Additionally, the coin's zinc composition was likely chosen due to the wartime shortage of other metals, such as copper and nickel, which were more commonly used in coin production.
