Interesting fact
The Kreuzer coin from the City of Fribourg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many European countries, including Switzerland. The Kreuzer coin was minted during this time as a response to the need for a stable and reliable currency. Despite the challenges of the time, the Kreuzer coin remained a popular and widely used currency in Switzerland and surrounding regions.
