Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1816 Canton of Vaud 39 Batz silver coin is that it was counterstamped with the coat of arms of the Canton of Vaud, which was a unique feature of this particular coin. This counterstamp was applied to the coin after it was minted, and it served as a way to indicate that the coin was issued by the Canton of Vaud and not by the Swiss Confederation. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and numismatists who are interested in the history and development of Swiss currency.
