Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Burgraviate of Nuremberg, minted during the reign of John III and Frederick VI (1404-1420), features a unique design that reflects the political and economic context of the time. The coin's obverse side bears the image of the two co-ruling burgraves, John III and Frederick VI, while the reverse side features the Nuremberg coat of arms, which includes a shield with the city's iconic castle and a pair of lions. This design was meant to symbolize the burgraviate's independence and sovereignty, as well as its economic and political ties to the Holy Roman Empire.
