Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Batzen coin from the Canton of Vaud is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was introduced in 1826, just a few years after the Congress of Vienna, which had established a new political order in Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. The coin's mintage was also a response to the growing need for a standardized currency system in Switzerland, which had previously used a variety of different coins and currencies. The 5 Batzen coin was an important step towards establishing a unified currency system in Switzerland, and it remained in circulation until 1831.
