Interesting fact

The 5 Batzen coin from the Canton of Aargau, made of silver and weighing 4.38g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Switzerland. In 1808, the country was under French occupation, and the Canton of Aargau was part of the Helvetic Republic, which was established by Napoleon Bonaparte. Despite this, the coin still features the traditional coat of arms of the Canton of Aargau, showing the region's pride and independence.
