Interesting fact
The 20 Kreuzers coin from the City of Bern, made of silver, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Duke Charles of Saxony, who was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and infrastructure of his territories. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Bern, which includes a bear, symbolizing strength and resilience, and a key, representing the city's role as a gateway to the Swiss Alps. The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
