Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers coin from the City of Zofingen (Aargau) made of Billon and weighing 2.47g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The early 18th century saw the rise of trade and commerce, as well as the development of new monetary systems and currencies. The 4 Kreuzers coin, which was used in the Swiss Confederation, is a tangible representation of this era of transformation and innovation.
