Swiss Cantons 1620 Saint Gall Thaler VF-EF (VF30)
The City of St. Gall is a historic city in northeastern Switzerland, in the canton of St. Gallen. It grew around the Abbey of Saint Gall, a Benedictine monastery founded in the 8th century by the Irish monk Saint Gall, a disciple of Saint Columbanus. The abbey became one of medieval Europe’s most important centers of learning, culture, and manuscript production, famed for its library, which houses thousands of manuscripts and early books, some dating back to the 8th century. The city itself developed as a market town around the abbey, benefiting from trade and the protection offered by the monastic community. St. Gall’s rich religious, cultural, and architectural heritage—including the baroque cathedral and the UNESCO-listed library—makes it a key symbol of Switzerland’s medieval history and intellectual tradition.
