Interesting fact

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. It was first introduced in 1701 and was used until 1755, when it was replaced by a new currency. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin was an important part of the local economy and was used for everyday transactions.
