Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Ewiger Pfennig" coin from the Abbey of Saint Gall is that it was minted using a unique technique called "fractal cutting," which created a pattern of repeating shapes that appear to never end, giving the coin its name, which translates to "Eternal Penny." This technique was used to create a sense of continuity and unity, reflecting the Abbey's values of community and shared purpose.
