One interesting fact about the ½ Kreuzer ND (1501-1529) coin from the City of Fribourg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, who was instrumental in establishing the Holy Roman Empire and its currency. The coin's design, featuring the imperial eagle and the city's coat of arms, reflects the political and economic ties between the City of Fribourg and the Holy Roman Empire during this period.
