Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, which is reflected in the issuance of this commemorative coin celebrating peace.
