Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Pfennig (Pattern) 1596 from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 2.88 g is that it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse of the coin depicts a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Nuremberg, while the reverse features a stylized eagle with the inscription "S.P.Q.N." (Senatus Populusque Nurembergensis), which stands for "Senate and People of Nuremberg." This design was intended to showcase the city's independence and wealth, and it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
