54,4 x 54,8 x 54,5 mmInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Reichsguldiner (Klippe) coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features a unique "klippe" or "cut" design, which was a distinctive feature of coins minted in Nuremberg during the 16th and 17th centuries. The klippe design involves a small cut or notch in the rim of the coin, which was added to prevent counterfeiting and to make it easier to distinguish from other coins. This design element has made the ½ Reichsguldiner (Klippe) coin a popular collector's item among numismatists.
