Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler ND (1554) from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) made of Silver 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 "Sigismundus Nurembergensis" (Sigismund of Nuremberg), indicating that it was minted during the reign of Sigismund II, the last emperor of the House of Habsburg.
