Interesting fact
The 20 Kreuzers coin from the City of Bern, minted between 1716 and 1717, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination made it a widely used and accessible form of currency for everyday transactions. Additionally, the coin's design features the Bernese coat of arms, which includes a bear, symbolizing strength and resilience, qualities that were highly valued during this time period.
