Comment
Minted for the visit of the emperor. As the emperor didn't show up, most of these coins where molten down again.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the visit of Emperor Rudolf II to the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg in 1580. The coin's design features an image of the Emperor on one side and the Nuremberg coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the city's loyalty to the Emperor and the Holy Roman Empire.
