Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler 1693 from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "N" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sigillum Nurembergae" (Seal of Nuremberg). This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the city's independence and sovereignty.
