Interesting fact

The 10 Kreuzer coin from Zug, minted between 1693 and 1694, features an error in its design. The coin was meant to have a portrait of the Zug's patron saint, Saint Oswald, on one side, but instead, it features a depiction of a bird, believed to be a swan. This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process, and it has become a unique characteristic of this particular coin.
