Interesting fact
The Kreuzer coin from the City of St. Gallen, made of Billon and weighing 0.62g, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when the Swiss Confederation was transitioning from a medieval to a modern economy. The coin's design, featuring the city's coat of arms and the image of a cross, reflects the religious and political influences of the time. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Kreuzer played an important role in the local economy and was used for everyday transactions.
