Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from Nuremberg was minted during a time when the city was an important center of trade and commerce in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design features the city's coat of arms, which includes a shield with a golden lion and a silver crescent moon, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the city's wealth and prosperity, as well as its connection to the larger empire. It's worth noting that the 1 Kreuzer coin was a standard denomination coin that was widely used throughout the German States during this time period, and many different cities and states minted their own versions of the coin. However, the Nuremberg coin is particularly interesting because of its unique design and the historical context in which it was minted.
