BATZEN
1806
Interesting fact
The 5 Batzen coin from the Canton of Lucerne, made of silver and weighing 4.42g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued in 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 economy and currency. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into Switzerland's rich cultural heritage.
