Interesting fact
The Kreuzer 1628 from the Republic of Valais is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Republic of Valais was a short-lived state that was formed in 1628 and lasted only until 1634, and the Kreuzer coin was one of the few coins minted during this time. Despite its brief existence, the Republic of Valais played an important role in the history of Switzerland and the broader European region. The coin's silver content and unique design also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
