Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler 1694 coin from Nuremberg features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Holy Roman Empire was still a powerful entity in Europe, and the fact that Nuremberg was able to mint its own coins with the emperor's image on it speaks to the city's importance and influence within the empire.
