Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Free City of Kempten (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "K" on the reverse side, which represents the city of Kempten. This letter "K" is surrounded by a wreath of leaves and berries, adding to the coin's aesthetic appeal.
