Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that represents the city of Nuremberg's history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Nuremberg Castle, a medieval castle that was built in the 11th century and has been a symbol of the city for centuries. The reverse side of the coin features a stylized image of a screw, which is a nod to Nuremberg's history as a center of metalworking and manufacturing. The screw is also a play on words, as "Schrauben" in German means "screw," but it also sounds like "Nürnberg," the name of the city. This clever design element adds an extra layer of meaning and significance to the coin.
