Bayreuth and Neustadt mint

Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Burgraviate of Nuremberg, minted during the reign of John III and Frederick VI (1397-1404), features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the time. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a lion, while the reverse side features a shield with the coat of arms of Nuremberg. This design was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the Burgraviate of Nuremberg, which was a significant political and economic force in the region during the late medieval period.
