BATZEN
Interesting fact
The 40 Batzen coin from the Canton of Lucerne, made of silver (.900) and weighing 29.3g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The early 19th century saw the country transitioning from a loose confederation of states to a more centralized federal state, and the introduction of a standardized currency was an important part of this process. The 40 Batzen coin was one of the first coins to be minted under this new system, and it features an elegant design that reflects the cultural and historical significance of the region.
