Interesting fact

The 30 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 Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who ruled from 1576 to 1612. During his reign, Rudolf II introduced a number of reforms aimed at strengthening the economy and centralizing power within the Holy Roman Empire. The 30 Kreuzer coin was one of the many coins minted during this time, and it was used widely throughout the German States. Despite its relatively small denomination, the coin was made of silver, which gave it a high level of purchasing power. Today, the 30 Kreuzer coin is a highly sought-after collector's item, with some rare examples selling for thousands of dollars.
