Comment
Coin used as equalizing currency to the Schilling from Würzburg.Interesting fact
The 1½ Pfennig coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, made of silver, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1659, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the minting of this coin reflects the city's economic resilience and stability during this period.
