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 ties to the Holy Roman Empire. The coin features an image of the Imperial Eagle on one side and the coat of arms of Nuremberg on the other, symbolizing the city's loyalty to the Empire and its status as a free imperial city. This coin is a rare and valuable example of the currency used during this tumultuous period in European history.
