The ⅙ Assis coin from Zug, made of Billon and weighing 0.2g, was used as a form of currency in the canton of Zug in Switzerland during the 18th century. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin was an important part of the local economy and was used for everyday transactions. It's a fascinating example of how even small, seemingly insignificant coins can play a significant role in the economic history of a region.
