Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from Ulm is notable for its unique design, which features a depiction of the city's patron saint, St. Michael, slaying a dragon. This image was chosen to symbolize the city's victory over the plague, which had ravaged Ulm in the 16th century. The coin's design also includes the coat of arms of the city and the inscription "S.P.Q.R.U." which stands for "Senatus Populusque Romanus Ulmensis" or "The Senate and People of Rome of Ulm". This inscription highlights the city's connection to the Roman Empire and its proud heritage.
