Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, minted between 1603 and 1604, features an image of the city's coat of arms on one side and the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II, on the other. This coin was significant because it was one of the first standardized coins issued by a German state, and it helped to establish the Thaler as a widely accepted currency across the region.
