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 profound impact on the German States, including Nuremberg. Despite the challenges of this period, the city continued to mint coins, including the 30 Kreuzer, which was an important denomination for trade and commerce. The coin's design, featuring the city's coat of arms and other symbols, reflects the pride and independence of Nuremberg during this time.
