Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from Nuremberg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the late 18th century, a period known as the Enlightenment, which saw the rise of new ideas about liberty, equality, and democracy. The coin's design reflects this era of change, featuring an image of a liberty tree on one side and the Nuremberg coat of arms on the other. The liberty tree was a symbol of freedom and independence, and its inclusion on the coin highlights the city's commitment to these values.
