Interesting fact
The 3 Batzen coin from the Canton of Basel, minted between 1809 and 1810, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature a depiction of a Swiss canton on its reverse side. This was a significant departure from the traditional designs used on Swiss coins up until that point, which typically featured the Swiss cross or other national symbols. The decision to include the Basel coat of arms on the coin was a nod to the growing sense of regional identity and pride in Switzerland during that time period.
