Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, minted in 1457, features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Sebald, on its obverse side. St. Sebald was a missionary and bishop who is said to have brought Christianity to the region in the 8th century. The coin's reverse side features the coat of arms of the city of Nuremberg, which includes a shield with a distinctive red and white pattern. This design has been used on coins from Nuremberg for centuries and is still featured on the city's flag today.
