| Additional information |
The Peace of Pressburg, signed December 26, 1805, forced Austria to cede vast territories following Napoleon's crushing victory at Austerlitz three weeks earlier. Nuremberg had no stake in those negotiations — the city was effectively already finished as an independent entity. Napoleon's reorganization of German territories through the Confederation of the Rhine dissolved the Free Imperial City just months after this coin was struck, absorbing Nuremberg into Bavaria in September 1806. This piece was among the last gold issues the city would ever produce under its own authority.
