NÜRNBERGER, GEORG FRIEDRICH
NÜRNBERGER, GEORG FRIEDRICH (Germ.). Son of the last ; appointed Mint-master at Nuremberg, 4 July 1677, and in office until 1716. He retained his father's privy-mark, a small cross, adding his initials GFN. on the larger coins. Although I find it stated that he was not only responsible for the issue of the coinage, but also engraved dies, this does not seem at all certain. Bolzenthal mentions his name as an Engraver of inferior merit, and in K. K. Hauptmünzamt Katalog der Münz- und-Medaillen-Ste...
