Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, minted in 1573, is interesting because it features a unique design element - a small crescent moon and star symbol on the reverse side, which was a hallmark of the city's mint. This symbol was used to indicate that the coin was minted in Nuremberg and was a guarantee of its authenticity.
