Comment
Mintmaster Hans PutzerInteresting fact
The Sirenentaler, a silver thaler coin minted in 1628 for the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg, features an intriguing mythological creature on its reverse side - a siren, depicted as a half-woman, half-fish creature. This unique design was meant to symbolize the city's connection to the River Pegnitz, which flows through Nuremberg and was an important trade route during that time. The coin's imagery highlights the city's rich history and cultural heritage, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
