Interesting fact

The 20 Kreuzer coin from Nuremberg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1774, just a few years before the outbreak of the French Revolution, which would have a profound impact on the European monetary system. The coin's silver content and its status as a standard circulation coin made it a valuable and widely used form of currency during this time.
