Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, minted between 1765 and 1779, features an intricate design on its reverse side, including a depiction of the city's coat of arms, a shield with a crowned eagle, and a banner with the city's motto, "Soll ich halten, soll ich lassen" (Should I hold, should I release?). This motto was a reference to the city's long-standing tradition of minting coins and its commitment to maintaining the quality and purity of its currency.
