Comment
Some of these coins where restrikes from 1755 to 1764Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance for the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg. The coin's minting was likely a celebration of the city's prosperity and independence, as it was one of the few cities in the German States that was not under the direct control of a monarch or a powerful noble family. The coin's gold content and intricate design also reflect the city's wealth and cultural sophistication during this period.
