Comment
Actual years of mintage are unknown. The HMZ Katalog identifies it as 16th century.Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzer coin from Zug was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Zug, which includes a shield with three roses, and a crown above it. The coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure consistency and trustworthiness in trade. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 12 Kreuzer coin from Zug is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians.
