This specimen was lot 3343 in Steve Album Auction 51 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2025), where it sold for $72. The catalog description[1] noted, "VAUD: Canton, AR batzen / 10 rappen, 1818, Unc, ex Dr. Robert A. Rosenfeld Collection, ex Coin Galleries Auction, February 12, 1992, Lot 1391 (part)." This type is listed for 1804-20. Forty batzen made a thaler. After being temporarily unified under Napoleon's Helvetic Republic, the cantons went their separate ways after the Congress of Vienna and issued a torrent of low value coins. Not until 1850 would a unified confederation mint her own coins and terminate the local issues.
