Interesting fact

The 10 Kreuzer coin from Nuremberg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I (1745-1765), who was instrumental in introducing a number of economic and monetary reforms throughout the German States. The coin's design, which features the Nuremberg coat of arms on one side and the imperial eagle on the other, reflects the city's status as a free imperial city and its connection to the larger Holy Roman Empire. Despite being minted over 250 years ago, many of these coins have survived to the present day and are highly sought after by collectors.
