Interesting fact
The Kreuzer coin from Zug, made of Billon and weighing 0.70g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Swiss Confederation was still a relatively new entity. The coin was minted between 1564 and 1599, a period of significant political and economic change in Switzerland, and its use reflects the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Kreuzer coin played an important role in facilitating everyday transactions and helped to establish the Swiss Confederation as a major economic power in Europe.
