Swiss Cantons 1811 Uri 4 Batz Almost Uncirculated (AU50)
The Swiss cantons are the member states that make up Switzerland, functioning somewhat like provinces or states in other countries. Switzerland is a federal republic composed of 26 cantons, each with its own constitution, government, and a high degree of autonomy—especially in areas like education, healthcare, and taxation. This decentralized structure is a defining feature of Swiss governance, rooted in the country’s history as a confederation of independent regions.
The 26 cantons are: Zurich, Bern, Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Glarus, Zug, Fribourg, Solothurn, Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft, Schaffhausen, Appenzell Innerrhoden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, St. Gallen, Graubünden, Aargau, Thurgau, Ticino, Vaud, Valais, Neuchâtel, Geneva, and Jura. Some, such as Obwalden and Nidwalden or the two Appenzells, are historically considered “half-cantons,” though today they function similarly to the others, with only slight differences in representation at the federal level.
