Comment
Minted using the dies of the 1 taler coin.Interesting fact
The 4 Ducats 1631 coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance for the city. Nuremberg was a key trading center during the Renaissance and a member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful mercantile and cultural organization that spanned across Northern Europe. The coin's gold content and intricate design reflect the city's wealth and influence during this period.
