Public Commentary

Auf der Münze in Winterthur ist das Beizeichen der Vorderseite nicht zu erkennen, ein kürzlich im Handel aufgetauchtes Exemplar legt aber nahe, dass es sich um eine Rosenblüte handelt. The symbol on the obverse is not recognizable on the coin in Winterthur, but a specimen that has recently appeared in commerce suggests that it is a rose.
