| Additional information |
Nuremberg's kreuzer coinage of this period reflects the city's tenacious insistence on maintaining its own mint rights deep into the later Holy Roman Empire, when many smaller issuing authorities had already surrendered that privilege. The city's mint was extraordinarily productive in small silver throughout the 1670s, partly in response to ongoing monetary disorder following the Thirty Years' War — low-denomination silver remained chronically short across the imperial southwest for decades after 1648.
