Comment
These coins were struck over 6 Kreuzer coins of the Gunzberg Mint.Interesting fact
The 6 Kreuzer coin from the Canton of St. Gallen, made of Billon and weighing 2.34g, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued in 1807, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars, which had a significant impact on the country's economy and currency. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Despite its relatively low value, the 6 Kreuzer coin remains a fascinating piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of Switzerland during this time.
