Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers 1741 coin from the City of Lucerne is that it features a unique design element - a small cross symbol located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This cross is not found on other coins from the same series or mint, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
