Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, minted between 1629 and 1637, features an image of the city's patron saint, St. Sebald, on one 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 design was meant to symbolize the city's connection to its religious heritage and its status as a free imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire.
