Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzer coin from the Republic of Obwalden (Unterwalden) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Charles VI, who was instrumental in introducing the first standardized coinage system across the Holy Roman Empire. This system, known as the "Kreuzer" system, was based on a silver standard and was used throughout much of Central Europe during the 18th century. The 20 Kreuzer coin was a significant denomination within this system and was widely used in trade and commerce.
