Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Reichsguldiner coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand III, on one side, and the Nuremberg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, with the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) taking place during the same period. Despite the conflict, the Nuremberg mint continued to produce high-quality coins like the Reichsguldiner, which were widely used for trade and commerce.
