Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from 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 Kreuzer coin was minted with a unique design that reflected the city's political and economic status during this time. The coin features the coat of arms of Nuremberg on one side and the image of a crowned eagle on the other, symbolizing the city's independence and connection to the Holy Roman Empire. This design was used for several decades and became a distinctive feature of Nuremberg's coinage during this period.
