Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzer coin was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity, having been formed in 1291. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Zug, which includes a shield with three white crescents on a blue background, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was used on many coins minted in Zug during this period and has become a recognizable symbol of the region.
