- "The batzen was a coin produced by Bern, Switzerland, from the 15th century until the mid-19th century.
Etymologically, the batzen is most likely named for the bear (Batz, Bätz, Standard German Petz), the heraldic animal of Berne that was depicted on the coins.Alternatively, the term could derive from a word for "lump, clod", as a colloquialism referring to the low quality of the silver or billon in the coin.[citation needed] Yet other hypotheses[by whom?] suggest that the name is related to the verb ´batter´, meaning ´to mint´, or that it is related to the Italian pezzo, ´piece´.The batzen was originally a silver coin, but by the 17th century it was struck in billon. In Bern´s monetary system, the batzen was worth four kreuzer." - (en.wikipedia.org 07.09.2020)
