Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier (Klippe) coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many German states, including Nuremberg. As a result, the 1 Dreier coin was minted with a lower silver content than previous issues, which helped to alleviate the shortage of small denomination coins during this time. Despite this, the coin still maintained its value and remained in circulation for many years, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
