Interesting fact
The 20 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 Emperor Francis I, who was instrumental in introducing new currency reforms across the Holy Roman Empire. The 20 Kreuzer coin was one of the first coins to be minted under these reforms, which aimed to standardize currency across the empire and promote trade and commerce. The coin's design, which features the imperial eagle and the coat of arms of Nuremberg, reflects the city's pride in its imperial heritage and its connection to the wider European economy.
