This specimen was lot 3659 in Sincona sale 64 (Zürich, June 2020), where it sold for 450 CHF (about US$564 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"SWITZERLAND | Uri | misc, Batzen 1811, Bern. FDC. (canton of Uri, batzen of 1811, Bern mint. Uncirculated.)"

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.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
