Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 39 Batz (Counterstamped) 1816 from Canton of Vaud made of Silver (.917) weighing 28.8 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued in 1816, just a few years after the Congress of Vienna, which had established a new political order in Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. The Canton of Vaud, where the coin was minted, was one of the cantons that had recently joined the Swiss Confederation, and the coin's issuance was likely a reflection of the growing economic and political influence of the region.
