Interesting fact

The ½ Ducat 1692 from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was an independent imperial state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it features the coat of arms of Nuremberg on one side and the image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Leopold I, on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of the currency used during this time period in Nuremberg's history.
