[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 7802929, member: 4910"][IMG]https://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_austria_kreuzer20_1848.jpg[/IMG] Austria 20 Kreuzer 1848 Silver, 26.0 mm, 6.65 gm, 0.583 fine, Vienna Mint Catalog: Krause World Coins 1801-1900 number KM 2208, minted from 1837 to 1848 The Austria 20 Kreuzer coin was sometimes called the "Zwanziger" after the German word "zwanzig" which means "twenty". A large number of zwanziger's ended up far from their Austrian home as travelers to California during the Gold Rush period (1849 to the 1850's) either brought them or had them shipped to California where they circulated as small change. Zwanzigers are mentioned in several books about foreign coins circulating in California during the period. :)[/QUOTE]
