Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kreuzer 1729-1730 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 Rüttimann, who was a prominent politician and military leader in the region. At the time, the Swiss Confederation was facing economic challenges and political tensions, which led to the introduction of new currency reforms and the minting of new coins, such as the Kreuzer. Despite these challenges, the Kreuzer 1729-1730 remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
