Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1806 2 Ducats (Peace) coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features a unique design that symbolizes the city's commitment to peace and neutrality during a time of conflict. The coin's obverse side depicts a crowned allegorical figure of Peace, holding an olive branch and a scepter, while the reverse side shows the Nuremberg coat of arms surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was meant to convey the city's desire for peace and its commitment to maintaining neutrality during the Napoleonic Wars, which were raging across Europe at the time.
