While the central Swiss cross and the numeral 1 remain legible, the fine details of the wheat ear and the lettering are softened by wear and oxidation. There are no indications of a professional grade, and the strike type is a standard circulation business strike. This 1 Rappen piece was struck at the Bern Mint (Eidgenössische Münzstätte) and is composed of copper. Historically, the 1 Rappen was the smallest denomination of the Swiss Franc, featuring the iconic design by Hans Frei that remained largely unchanged for over a century until the denomination was demonetized in 2007.
