Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Burgraviate of Nuremberg, minted during the reign of Frederick V in 1396-1397, features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the time. The obverse side of the coin depicts a shield with the Nuremberg coat of arms, while the reverse side features a cross with the inscription "FREDERICUS DEI GRATIA" (Frederick by the grace of God) surrounding it. This design was a departure from the more common designs found on coins of the German States during this period, which often featured religious symbols or imagery. The use of a shield with the Nuremberg coat of arms on the 1 Pfennig coin was a nod to the city's rich history and cultural heritage, and served as a symbol of the city's independence and sovereignty.
