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 had just ended in 1648, and the Holy Roman Empire was in the process of dissolving. As a result, many German states, including Nuremberg, began to issue their own coins to replace the traditional imperial currency. The 1 Kreuzer coin was one of the first coins minted by Nuremberg during this time, and it features a unique design that reflects the city's newfound independence.
