Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Kreuzer coin from the City of St. Gallen is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun in 1618, and the coin's minting in 1631-1633 would have been during a period of great upheaval and uncertainty. Despite this, the coin's silver content and standardized design would have made it a valuable and reliable form of currency for merchants and traders.
