The thaler was the currency of the Swiss canton of Valais until 1798. It was subdivided into 40 batz, each of 4 creuzer. It was replaced by the Frank of the Helvetian Republic in 1798.

Coins

In the late 18th century, billon coins were issued in denominations of 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12 creuzer, with the 2 and 4 creuzer denominated as ½ and 1 batz. Silver 20 creuzer were also issued
