Interesting fact

The Dicken coin from Zug, Switzerland, was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended, and many countries were struggling to rebuild their economies. As a result, the value of silver coins like the Dicken fluctuated widely, making them an interesting and valuable collector's item today.
