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 political and economic change in Switzerland. The coin was issued in 1805-1806, 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 political and economic systems. Despite these changes, the coin still maintained the traditional design and silver content of previous issues, reflecting the continuity of the Swiss currency system during this period.
