Comment
Bernh. 193Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1552 Kaufbeuren 20 Kreuzers coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "G" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sankt Gallen" (St. Gallen), indicating that the coin was minted under the authority of the Prince-Abbot of St. Gallen. This detail highlights the complex political and monetary systems that existed in the German States during the 16th century.
