Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from Zug was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and many countries were struggling with inflation and currency devaluation. Despite these challenges, the 12 Kreuzer coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity. In fact, the coin was so valuable that it was often used as a form of payment for merchants and traders, and it remained in circulation for many years after its initial minting.
