Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler 1628 coin from Nuremberg features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II 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 this one, which were widely used for trade and commerce.
