Interesting fact
The 5 Batzen coin from the Canton of the Grisons, made of silver and weighing 4.67g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in the canton during a time of political and economic change. The coin was introduced in 1807, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars, and was used until 1826, when the Swiss Federal Constitution was adopted, and a new currency was introduced. This coin is a tangible reminder of the history and development of the Grisons region and its place within the broader context of European politics and economics during that time.
