Interesting fact
The 5 Rappen 1826 coin from the Canton of Basel made of Billon weighing 1.99g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. The country was transitioning from a decentralized, agrarian society to a more centralized, industrialized nation. The coin's design, featuring the Basel coat of arms and the Swiss cross, reflects this shift towards modernization and standardization. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was more durable and cost-effective than using pure silver or gold. This coin is a tangible representation of Switzerland's growth and development during the 19th century.
