"NÜRNBERG, STADT, Goldgulden 1617, auf die 100-Jahrfeier der Reformation. Geschenkmünze für alle Kirchendiener und Lehrer. GOLD. Leichte Justierspuren am Rand, vorzüglich. (Germany, city of Nuremberg, goldgulden of 1617, on the centennial of the Reformation, presented to all church employees and teachers. Small mount mark on edge, extremely fine.)"
