Interesting fact
The 40 Batzen coin from the Canton of Vaud, made of silver (.900) and weighing 29.5g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. In 1812, the country was facing economic challenges and political instability, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the Batzen, to replace the existing currency, the Gulden. The 40 Batzen coin was one of the denominations introduced during this time, and it was used widely in the Canton of Vaud and other parts of Switzerland. Despite the challenges faced by the country during this period, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a piece of Swiss history.
