Coin design by:
Andreas I. Zanaschka
Built by Hans Ulrich Eggenberg (1568-1634), the castle reflects the current fascination in astronomy. The four massive towers represent the four elements, while the 365 windows are for the days of the year, the 24 reception rooms for the hours of a day, etc.. The construction began in 1625 and was completed 1642, only after Hans Ulrich’s death. The obverse of the coin shows a frontal view of the impressive structure.
