Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Rappen 1827-1828 coin from the Canton of Fribourg is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Switzerland. The country was facing a financial crisis, and the government was forced to debase its currency by minting coins with a lower silver content than previously used. This led to the use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, in the production of coins, including the 5 Rappen coin. Despite the economic challenges, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
