Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Holy Roman Emperor Francis II in 1790. The coin's design features an image of the emperor on one side and the Nuremberg coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the city's allegiance to the empire.
