Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1629 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 when Nuremberg was an important trading center and a free imperial city, meaning it was not under the direct control of any lord or king, but was instead governed by its own council and laws. The coin's silver content and intricate design made it a valuable and sought-after trade item throughout Europe.
