Interesting fact
The Pattern Kreuzer 1717 from City of Bern is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few specimens known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted with a unique "secret mark" - a small cross that was added to the coin's design by the mint master to indicate that it was produced outside of the official minting process. This secret mark has become a distinguishing feature of the coin and has helped collectors and numismatists to authenticate its provenance.
