Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Reichsguldiner coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, who was instrumental in reforming the currency system in the German States and introducing the Reichsguldiner as a standardized currency. This coin, made of silver and weighing 12.32g, was an important part of that currency system and played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region.
