Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Kreuzer 1766 coin from the Free City of Augsburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "A" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sigillum Augsburgi" or "Seal of Augsburg." This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's authenticity and to differentiate it from counterfeit coins that were prevalent during that time.
