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 Thaler coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its value remained consistent throughout the region. This speaks to the coin's durability and reliability, and it's a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the mint masters who created it.
