Interesting fact

The 5 Ducats 1706 coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was an independent political entity within the Holy Roman Empire, and it features the city's coat of arms on one side and the image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Joseph I, on the other.
