Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin ⅙ Assis ND (1701-1745) from Zug made of Billon weighing 0.2 g is that it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was transitioning from a medieval society to a modern state. This coin, which features the image of a shield with the letters "SZ" (for Zug) and a crown on top, was used as a means of payment and exchange during this period of change and growth. Despite its small size and relatively low value, it remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and numismatists today.
