Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg (German States) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Joseph II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design features the imperial eagle on one side and the coat of arms of Nuremberg on the other, symbolizing the city's status as a free imperial city within the empire. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today, with some rare examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
