Interesting fact
The 3 Batzen coin from the City of St. Gallen, made of silver and weighing 4.05g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a profound impact on the continent, leading to widespread devastation, famine, and disease. Despite these challenges, the City of St. Gallen continued to mint coins, such as the 3 Batzen, which were used for everyday transactions and commerce. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of St. Gallen during a difficult period in history.
