Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler ND (1631) coin from Nuremberg is notable for its unique design, which features a depiction of the city's coat of arms on one side and the Holy Roman Emperor's portrait on the other. This design was used to signify the city's status as a free imperial city, which meant that it was not under the direct control of any lord or king, but was instead governed by its own council and laws. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a time when the Holy Roman Empire was still in power, and it is highly sought after by collectors today.
