Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Batzen 1812 coin from the Canton of Obwalden (Unterwalden) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the Helvetic Republic, which was a short-lived federal state that existed from 1798 to 1803. During this time, the Swiss cantons were trying to establish a unified currency, and the 5 Batzen coin was one of the first coins to be minted as part of this effort. Despite the challenges faced during this period, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
