Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, minted between 1766 and 1767, features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the Holy Roman Emperor Francis I on the other. The coat of arms includes a depiction of a castle, which represents the city's status as a free imperial city, and a lion, which symbolizes the city's connection to the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design was meant to showcase the city's pride in its history and its connection to the larger empire.
