Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Ducats (Peace) 1698 coin from the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg is that it features a unique design that symbolizes the city's commitment to peace and prosperity. The coin's obverse side depicts a crowned allegorical figure of Peace, holding an olive branch and a scepter, while the reverse side shows the Nuremberg coat of arms surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was meant to commemorate the end of the devastating Thirty Years' War, which had ravaged much of Europe, including the German States, and to promote peace and unity among the region's cities and states.
