Interesting fact
The 20 Batzen coin from the Canton of Zurich, made of silver and weighing 14.7 grams, is interesting because it was part of a currency reform in Switzerland in the 1820s, aimed at standardizing the country's coinage and simplifying trade. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Zurich on one side and the value and year on the other. It was minted until 1847 and is now considered a collector's item.
