Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer 1797 coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "F" and "N" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Freie Reichsstadt Nürnberg" (Free Imperial City of Nuremberg). This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate the city's status as a free imperial city, which was a rare and privileged status in the Holy Roman Empire.
