Comment
Example of Arched lettering:Interesting fact
The Angster coin from Zug, Switzerland, was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was introduced in 1778, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the European monetary system. Despite this turmoil, the Angster coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency in Switzerland until its withdrawal in 1804. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
