Interesting fact
The Batzen 1622 from the City of Solothurn is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) having a significant impact on the region. Despite the challenges of this period, the Batzen 1622 remains a testament to the craftsmanship and resilience of the mint workers and the people of Solothurn.
