Interesting fact
The Batzen coin from the Bishopric of Sion (Valais) is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during the 17th century. Billon is a combination of silver and copper, and it was prized for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The fact that this coin was made of Billon suggests that it was intended for everyday use and circulation, and it likely saw a lot of handling and transactions during its time in circulation. Additionally, the fact that it weighs 2.3 grams suggests that it was a relatively small coin, making it easy to handle and transport.
