Interesting fact
The 20 Kreuzer coin from Zug was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Leopold I, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1658 to 1705. During this time, the Holy Roman Empire was facing economic challenges, including inflation and debasement of the currency. The 20 Kreuzer coin was minted as a response to these challenges, as it was made of silver and had a higher value than other coins in circulation. The coin's design featured the coat of arms of Zug and the Holy Roman Empire, symbolizing the unity and strength of the empire. Despite the challenges of the time, the 20 Kreuzer coin from Zug remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
