Interesting fact
The 5 Batzen coin from the Canton of Aargau, made of silver and weighing 4.4g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Switzerland. The coin was issued between 1808 and 1815, a period when Switzerland was under French occupation and the country was undergoing significant political and economic reforms. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the mint masters and engravers who created it.
