Comment
This coin should possibly be KM#30. The picture and description given for KM#30 in SCWC are the same as KM#8.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzer 1742 coin from the Republic of Obwalden (Unterwalden) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "O" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sigismundus Oswaldus," the name of the ruling council president at the time the coin was minted. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the president's authority and approval of the coin's production.
