Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Reichsguldiner coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the city's coat of arms, which includes a pair of crossed keys, symbolizing the city's status as a free imperial city. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins issued by the Holy Roman Empire during the same period.
