Interesting fact
The 4 Kreuzer coin from the City of St. Gallen, made of Billon and weighing 1.46g, is interesting because it was minted during a time when the Swiss Confederation was transitioning from using local currencies to a standardized national currency. This coin, minted in 1714, bears the coat of arms of the City of St. Gallen and was part of the first standardized coinage system introduced by the Swiss Confederation in 1701. Its design and composition reflect the efforts of the Swiss government to establish a uniform currency system across the country.
