Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cameo portrait of Elisabeth Krauss, the wife of the mayor of Nuremberg, on the obverse (front side). This is a rare example of a coin that includes a portrait of a private individual, rather than a monarch or other public figure.
