Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat (Klippe) ND (1700) from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) is that it was minted during a time when the city was an important center for trade and commerce in Europe. Nuremberg was a free imperial city, meaning it was not under the direct control of a local lord or king, but was instead governed by the Holy Roman Emperor. This allowed the city to maintain a high degree of autonomy and independence, which helped it to flourish economically. The coin itself is made of gold (.986) and weighs 0.87 grams, making it a valuable and highly sought-after collector's item.
