Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers (Batzen) 1704 coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "S.P.Q.N." (Senatus Populusque Nurembergensis) which represents the Senate and People of Nuremberg. This coin was minted during a time when the city was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the shield symbolizes the city's autonomy and pride in its self-governance.
