Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dicken (Saint Leodegar facing right; date on reverse; small gothic shield) 1612-1616 from City of Lucerne made of Silver weighing 8.8 g is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. The coin features an image of Saint Leodegar, a 7th-century bishop who was known for his role in converting the inhabitants of Lucerne to Christianity. The coin's minting during this period suggests that religion played a significant role in the daily lives of the people of Lucerne, and that the coin may have been used as a symbol of faith and devotion.
