Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kreuzer 1725-1729 from Republic of Obwalden (Unterwalden) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Switzerland. The coin was issued during the reign of Johann Jakob Rahn, who was a prominent politician and merchant in the region. Rahn was known for his efforts to modernize the economy of Obwalden and promote trade with other regions, and the minting of this coin was likely a part of those efforts. Despite its small denomination, the Kreuzer was an important part of everyday commerce in the region and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
