| Additional information |
Zug was among the smallest and least populous of the Swiss cantons, and its monetary output across the early eighteenth century reflects that scale — issues were struck in modest quantities to serve purely local exchange needs. The billon composition here sits at the lowest practical threshold for coined metal, a denomination so fractional it would have passed hands primarily in market transactions where smaller reckoning was unavoidable.
HMZ classification places this within a well-documented Zug series, but individual die varieties within the run remain poorly studied compared to output from the larger cantons.
