Interesting fact

The Kreuzer coin from the Talschaft of Uri, made of copper and weighing 1.5g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency in the Swiss Confederation during the 17th century. It was first introduced in 1622 and was used until 1627, making it a significant part of Switzerland's early monetary history.
