Comment

These tokens were distributed as a school prize. The obverse has the value of 20 Kreuzer. The weight and diameter are consistent with this value; however, Bern did not produce this denomination from 1679 until resuming in 1716. It is uncertain if they were ever intended or used as circulation coins.
