Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Batzens "Örtli" coin from the City of Schwyz is that it was minted in 1672, during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity. The coin features the image of a bird, known as the "Schwyzer Örtli," which is a local species of bird that is still found in the region today. The coin's design has remained largely unchanged over the centuries, and it continues to be a popular collector's item among numismatists.
