Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 12 Kreuzers 1635 coin from the City of Fribourg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and many countries were struggling to rebuild their economies and stabilize their currencies. Despite these challenges, the City of Fribourg was able to mint this coin, which was made of silver and had a relatively high weight of 4.41 grams, indicating that it was a significant denomination for its time. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Fribourg during a period of great upheaval.
