Interesting fact
The 20 Batzen coin from the City of Solothurn, minted between 1795 and 1798, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a depiction of a Swiss canton on its reverse side. The coin features an image of the Solothurn coat of arms, which includes a shield with three roses and a crown, symbolizing the city's rich history and cultural heritage. This design was a departure from the traditional designs used on Swiss coins at the time, which typically featured the Swiss cross or other national symbols. The inclusion of the Solothurn coat of arms on the coin highlights the city's unique history and identity, making it a distinctive and interesting piece of numismatic history.
