Interesting fact
The 4 Batzen coin from the Canton of Schwyz, made of silver and weighing 4.6g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the period of the Helvetic Republic (1798-1803), which was a short-lived republic that was established after the French Revolution. This coin is a tangible reminder of the historical events that shaped the country's political and economic landscape during that time.
