Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges from the growing power of neighboring nations such as France and Sweden, as well as from internal conflicts within the Empire. Despite these challenges, the Nuremberg mint continued to produce high-quality coins like the 1 Kreuzer, which were widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region.
