Interesting fact

The 5 Batzen coin from the Canton of Lucerne, made of silver and weighing 4.3 grams, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. In 1810, the country was still recovering from the effects of the Napoleonic Wars, and the government was working to establish a new currency system to replace the various local currencies that had been in use until then. The 5 Batzen coin was part of this effort, and it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and historical context of the time.
