Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Kreuzer coin from the Bishopric of Augsburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "K" and "A" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Kipper" and "Augsburg" respectively. This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was issued during the reign of Henry V of Knörringen, who was also known as Henry Kipper. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has a personal name or nickname of a ruler included in its design.
