Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen is that it features a unique coat of arms on its reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with a diagonal split between the upper left and lower right corners, with a crowned eagle in the upper left section and a pair of crossed keys in the lower right section. This design represents the coat of arms of the Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen family, who ruled the county during the time the coin was minted. The use of a family coat of arms on a coin was a common practice in the German States during the 18th century, and it served as a symbol of the ruling family's authority and power.
