Interesting fact
The 15 Kreuzer coin from the City of St. Gallen was minted during a time when the city was part of the Swiss Confederation, a union of Swiss cantons that was formed in 1291. The coin features the coat of arms of the City of St. Gallen on one side and the image of a crowned eagle on the other. The eagle is a symbol of the Swiss Confederation and represents the unity and strength of the Swiss people. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. It's worth noting that the 15 Kreuzer coin was not only used as a means of payment in the City of St. Gallen but also in other parts of the Swiss Confederation. It was a widely accepted coin and was used for transactions of various sizes. I hope you find this information interesting and helpful!
