Interesting fact

The 5 Batzen coin from the Canton of Vaud, made of silver and weighing 4.21g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued in 1804, just a few years after the French Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Helvetic Republic, which had a significant impact on the country's economy and currency. Despite these changes, the 5 Batzen coin remained a standard circulation coin and was widely used in the Canton of Vaud and beyond.
