Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 60 Kreuzer coin from the Free City of Augsburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.A." (for "St. Augsburg") located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This shield was added to the design to indicate that the coin was minted specifically for the Free City of Augsburg, and it is not found on other coins minted in other German states during the same period.
