<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 7100, member: 669&quot;]The 17th Century Krause lists a Zug KM#17, (thanks for the attribution lead Chrisild) 3 Kreuzer (1 Groschen) minted of billion, with a diameter of 21mm.&nbsp; The coin was minted from 1597-1608.&nbsp; The 1999 2nd edition values for 1601-1608 are the same, except for the higher-valued 1605, so that value is probably fairly accurate for the 1600 version as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t grade your coin from the pictures, but it looks to be at least a VG/fine.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have access to a 2003 3rd Ed., but the 2nd says you may have gotten a bargain - $12 VG, $25 F, $40 VF and $60 XF! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>NOTE - Krause also lists KM#19 without a picture and with the term &quot;Klippe&quot; for the metal, directly under the billion 3 Kreuzer - listed as minted in 1600, 1604 and 1605, but with no values specified!</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can find an expert on Zug coinage it would be worth getting a sight-seen opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW According to Krause, Zug&nbsp; is a canton in central Switzerland which joined the Confederation in 1352, and minted it&#039;s own coins from 1564-1805.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
