Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Emerich Joseph of Breitbach-Bürresheim, who was the Archbishop of Mainz from 1768 to 1772. This period saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the emergence of new economic and political ideas, which had a significant impact on the production and distribution of coins. The 20 Kreuzers coin, made of silver and weighing 6.56 grams, was a standard circulation coin that was widely used in trade and commerce during this time.
