Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers 1740 coin from the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or other symbols commonly found on coins, this coin features a depiction of a beehive, which was a symbol of industry and hard work in the region. This design was specifically chosen to represent the canton's strong agricultural and artisanal traditions, and it remains a distinctive feature of this coin to this day.
