Comment
Groschen #16 in "Die Münzen des Kantons Appenzell", published in Bulletin de la Société suisse de Numismatique, pp 181-201, vol. 8, 1889, http://doi.org/10.5169/seals-171278Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden, made of Billon and weighing 1.22g, is interesting because it was minted during a time when the canton was experiencing significant economic growth and development. The coin's design, featuring the Appenzell Innerrhoden coat of arms and the denomination, is a testament to the canton's rich history and cultural heritage. Additionally, the use of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, was a common practice during this time period, and the coin's weight of 1.22g is a unique characteristic that sets it apart from other coins of its time.
