Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzer coin from Zug was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the Swiss Confederation. The coin was issued during the reign of King Maximilian II, who was instrumental in reforming the Swiss currency and introducing a new system of coinage. The 3 Kreuzer coin was one of the first coins to be minted under this new system, and it features an elegant design that reflects the artistic style of the time. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gives it a unique historical significance and makes it a valuable collector's item today.
