Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two rulers, John III and Frederick VI, who jointly ruled the Burgraviate of Nuremberg during a time of political instability in the region. This coin was minted during their reign, which lasted from 1397 to 1420, and it is a rare example of a coin that features two rulers on the same side. This coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the political and economic conditions of the time.
