Interesting fact

The 5 Pfennigs coin from Nuremberg, featuring Andreas Macher Mauermeister, was part of a series of coins minted in the 1950s and 1960s to commemorate notable figures from the city's history. Andreas Macher Mauermeister was a master builder who played a significant role in the construction of Nuremberg's famous Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche) in the 14th century. The coin's design features a portrait of Mauermeister on one side and the Nuremberg coat of arms on the other.
