Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers - Francis Henry 1766 coin from the Burgraviate of Friedberg (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "F" (representing Francis Henry) placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin.
