Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzers 1720 coin from the City of St. Gallen is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was part of the Swiss Confederation, a union of Swiss cantons that was formed in 1291 and lasted until 1798. The coin's design, which features the city's coat of arms and other symbols, reflects the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Additionally, the fact that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in coinage during that time period, adds to its historical significance.
