Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 30 Kreuzers / ½ Gulden 1738 coin from the City of St. Gallen is that it features a unique design element - a small image of a bear - on the reverse side. This bear design was a symbol of the city's coat of arms and was included on many of the city's coins during this time period.
