Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzer ND (1742) coin from the Republic of Obwalden (Unterwalden) is that it features a unique design element - a stylized letter "V" on the reverse side, which represents the coat of arms of the canton. This design was used specifically for coins minted in Obwalden and sets the coin apart from other Swiss coins of the time.
