Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzer 1754 coin from the Free City of Regensburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.R." (for "Sigillum Reipublicae," or "Seal of the Republic") located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's issuance by the Free City of Regensburg, which was a sovereign state within the Holy Roman Empire. This small detail highlights the rich history and autonomy of the city-state and adds to the coin's numismatic significance.
