Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the accession of Charles VII, Holy Roman Emperor, to the throne in 1745. The coin's design features an image of Charles VII on the obverse, and the Nuremberg coat of arms on the reverse. The coin's gold content and weight also make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
