Comment
A total of 460,597 coins were minted for this type.Interesting fact
The 5 Rappen coin from the Canton of Aargau, made of Billon and weighing 2g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued between 1829 and 1831, a period when the country was transitioning from a decentralized, agrarian society to a more centralized, industrialized nation. The coin's design, featuring the Aargau coat of arms and the Swiss cross, symbolizes this shift towards modernization and unity.
