Interesting fact
The 20 Kreuzers coin from the Kingdom of Bohemia, featuring Maria Theresia, has an interesting feature - it has a unique "secret mark" on the reverse side. The mark, a small letter or symbol, was added to the coin by the mint master to indicate the coin's authenticity and to prevent counterfeiting. This secret mark can be found on the left side of the coin, near the edge, and it is only visible under close examination. This feature adds an extra layer of complexity and interest to an already beautiful and historic coin.
