| Additional information |
Nuremberg's monetary autonomy as a Free Imperial City allowed it to strike coins well into the late Holy Roman Empire period, though by 1765 that autonomy was increasingly nominal — the city was deeply in debt and would ultimately be absorbed into Bavaria in 1806. The 30 Kreuzer denomination was a workhorse of southern German commerce, circulating alongside coins from dozens of competing authorities whose varying silver standards made everyday exchange a constant negotiation.
KM#345 is not noted for significant die varieties, and Nuremberg's late imperial silver output tends to survive in decent grades, suggesting limited heavy circulation before the city's monetary system collapsed entirely.
