Comment
Actual years of mintage for undated coins are unknown. The range listed below is a best guess.Interesting fact
The Kreuzer coin from the City of Fribourg, made of Billon and weighing 1.25g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time of great economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Johann Ludwig von Erlach, who ruled Fribourg from 1559 to 1616, and it was used to facilitate trade and commerce within the city and its surrounding regions. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Kreuzer coin played an important role in the local economy and was an important symbol of the city's prosperity and growth during this time.
