Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Angster ND (1629) from City of Zürich made of Billon weighing 0.3 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the year 1629, which was during the Thirty Years' War, a conflict that lasted from 1618 to 1648 and involved many European countries. Despite the turmoil of this time period, the City of Zürich was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the Angster ND (1629). This coin is a testament to the city's resilience and adaptability during a period of great upheaval.
