Interesting fact
The 20 Batzen coin from the Canton of Aargau, made of silver and weighing 14.7g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Switzerland. In 1809, the country was under French occupation, and the Canton of Aargau was one of the territories annexed by Napoleon's empire. Despite this, the coin still features the traditional design of the Aargau canton, with the coat of arms and the inscription "Canton d'Argovie" on one side, and the denomination and date on the other. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the complex political landscape of Europe during the early 19th century.
