Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 Batzen 1809 from Canton of Aargau made of Silver weighing 15g is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. In 1809, the country was under French occupation, and the Canton of Aargau was one of the few cantons that were allowed to mint their own coins. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Switzerland during that time period.
