Interesting fact
The 21 Batzen coin from the Principality of Neuchâtel, minted in 1796 during the reign of Frederick William II, was part of a currency reform that aimed to standardize the coinage system in the region. Prior to this reform, the Principality used a variety of different coins, including some that were minted in other regions, which led to confusion and difficulties in trade. The introduction of the 21 Batzen coin, which was equivalent to 1/4 of a Swiss franc, helped to simplify the currency system and facilitate economic transactions in the region.
