Interesting fact

The 4 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles VII, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 1742 to 1745, and was minted in the city of Nuremberg, which was an important trading center and a free imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time, and it features an image of the imperial eagle on one side and the coat of arms of Nuremberg on the other. Despite its age, many of these coins have survived to the present day and are highly sought after by collectors.
