Rappen

Zug was among the smallest and least populous of the Swiss cantons, and its coinage output reflects that — this fractional issue spans fifteen years but almost certainly represents a modest total production. The HMZ 2-1001a attribution places it within a well-documented but sparsely surviving cantonal series; the Wüthrich collection reference suggests most known examples passed through a single major Swiss collection before dispersing into the market.

At 0.25 g, these were among the smallest silver pieces struck in early seventeenth-century Switzerland, prone to loss and damage in circulation. Survivors in any meaningful condition are genuinely scarce.
