This type is listed for 1811-15 and 1842-46 from the canton of [[Switzerland, Schwyz|Schwyz]]. 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.
