Comment
Years of mintage are unknown. The HMZ catalog lists this coins as 16th century.Interesting fact
The Angster coin from the Talschaft of Uri, made of Billon and weighing 0.16g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when most coins were made of precious metals like gold and silver. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a more affordable option for everyday transactions, making it accessible to a wider range of people. This highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people of Uri during that time period.
