Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1692 Zug ½ Ducat coin is that it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was transitioning from using various local currencies to a standardized national currency. The coin's design, featuring the coat of arms of Zug and the Swiss cross, reflects this shift towards a unified national identity.
