Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler (Peace) 1696 coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features a unique design that symbolizes the city's commitment to peace and prosperity. The obverse side of the coin depicts a representation of the Roman goddess of peace, Pax, standing on a pedestal and holding an olive branch, while the reverse side shows the Nuremberg coat of arms surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was meant to commemorate the peaceful reign of the Holy Roman Emperor, Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705 and was known for his efforts to maintain peace throughout the empire. The coin's design and symbolism reflect the values of the city of Nuremberg and its commitment to promoting peace and prosperity, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
