Interesting fact
The Thaler coin from Zug, Switzerland, was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just begun, and many regions were experiencing economic hardship and instability. Despite this, the Zug Thaler remained a stable and trusted currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity. In fact, the coin was so highly valued that it was often used as a unit of account, with prices for goods and services being quoted in terms of the number of Thalers required to purchase them. This speaks to the coin's enduring legacy as a symbol of value and stability in a time of turmoil.
