Interesting fact
The Heller coin from Zug, Switzerland, was minted during the 16th century and was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. Despite its small weight of 0.11 grams, the coin was widely used as a means of payment during that time period. It's fascinating to think about how such a small coin could have played a significant role in the economy of a region centuries ago!
