| Additional information |
Nuremberg struck this 12 Kreuzer during the War of the Spanish Succession, a conflict that placed the city in a difficult position — nominally loyal to the Habsburg emperor yet economically dependent on trade networks that the war was actively disrupting. Emergency and fractional silver issues from this period frequently show compromised silver content, though Nuremberg's civic mint maintained tighter quality controls than many imperial cities of comparable standing.
The Kelln reference places this among a documented sequence of early 18th-century municipal issues before Nuremberg's monetary autonomy was gradually absorbed into broader imperial standardization pressures.
