Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Free City of Regensburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "R" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sigillum Reipublicae Regensburgensis" or "Seal of the Republic of Regensburg". This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's issuance by the Free City of Regensburg, which was a self-governing city-state within the Holy Roman Empire.
