Interesting fact
The 5 Batzen coin from the Canton of Aargau, made of silver and weighing 4.46g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued 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 design, featuring the Aargau coat of arms and the Swiss cross, reflects the canton's newfound independence and sovereignty within the Swiss Confederation. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that had been used in the region, signifying a shift towards a more valuable and durable currency.
