Interesting fact

The 30 Kreuzer coin from Nuremberg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648, had a significant impact on the coinage of many German states, including Nuremberg. As a result, the 30 Kreuzer coin was minted with a unique design that reflected the city's political and economic status during this time. The coin features the image of a lion on one side and the coat of arms of Nuremberg on the other, symbolizing the city's strength and resilience during a period of great turmoil.
