Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler 1638 coin from Nuremberg features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with a distinctive "N" shape, which represents the city's name and its connection to the Holy Roman Empire. This design was used on many coins minted in Nuremberg during this time period and has become a recognizable symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage.
