Interesting fact

The 20 Kreuzer coin from Nuremberg was minted during a time when the city was part of the Holy Roman Empire, a political entity that spanned across Central Europe from the 10th to the 19th century. The coin's design features the coat of arms of Nuremberg, which includes a shield with a distinctive "N" shape, representing the city's name and its connection to the Empire. The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
