Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Kreuzer coin from the Free City of Augsburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "A" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sigismundus Augustus" (Sigismund Augustus), the ruler of the city at the time the coin was minted.
