| Additional information |
Nuremberg's status as a Free Imperial City was effectively over by the time these pfennigs were struck. The city had been financially exhausted for decades — crippled by debts accumulated during the Thirty Years' War and never fully recovered — and in 1806 Napoleon simply absorbed it into the Kingdom of Bavaria without serious resistance. These billon issues from 1793–94 are among the last coins Nuremberg would ever strike under its own authority, produced while the Holy Roman Empire itself had fewer than thirteen years left.
