Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Ducats 1633 from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "S.A." (for "Sigismundus Augustus," the Latin name of the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund III Vasa) on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to signify the coin's acceptance by the Holy Roman Empire.
