Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Abbey of Saint Gall (St. Gallen) is that it features an image of Saint Gall, the patron saint of the abbey, on one side, and an image of the abbey's church on the other side. This coin was minted during the reign of Beda Angehrn, who was the abbot of the abbey from 1777 to 1779. The coin was made of silver and was used as a standard circulation coin during that time.
