Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅙ Assis coin from Zug is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Carl I of Württemberg, who ruled from 1701 to 1747. During his reign, Württemberg experienced significant economic growth and cultural development, and the minting of coins like the ⅙ Assis was an important part of this process. The coin's design, which features the Duke's portrait and the coat of arms of Württemberg, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
