Interesting fact
The 5 Batzen coin from the Canton of St. Gallen, issued between 1810 and 1813, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or other symbols, it depicts a scene of a farmer and his wife working in a field, surrounded by trees and a mountain range in the background. This design was meant to represent the canton's strong agricultural tradition and the importance of hard work and self-sufficiency.
