Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Bishopric of Strasbourg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Rohan-Guéménée family, which was added to the coin's obverse (front side) to signify the influence of the Rohan-Guéménée family in the region.
