Interesting fact
The 9 Batzens coin from the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden, made of silver and weighing 8.56g, is interesting because it was minted during a time when the canton was still using the old Swiss currency, the Batz, before it was replaced by the Swiss franc in 1850. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of 18th century Switzerland.
