Interesting fact
The 4 Kreuzers / Batzen coin from the City of St. Gallen, made of Billon and weighing 1.99g, was part of a series of coins issued during the early 18th century to help standardize currency across the Swiss Confederation. This coin, in particular, was minted between 1720 and 1725 and features a unique design that includes the coat of arms of St. Gallen on one side and the number "4" on the other. Despite its relatively small size and weight, this coin played an important role in the economy of the time and remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
