About this coin:

Memmingen began as a small settlement during the late Roman period and grew into an independent Imperial town. It is now an urban treasure trove in the Swabian-Bavarian lowlands of the Alps. The right to hold market and carry a coat of arms allowed the burghers of Memmingen to gain substantial influence during the late middle ages and up to the threshold of the modern age. In the early 16th century, great civic confidence led Memmingen to become a centre of the Reformation. The first European declaration of human rights was formulated here around the same time, known as the "12 Peasant Articles". Ancient architectural masterpieces continue to pay witness to this important medieval trading centre's economic and cultural heyday.

There are many legends in the history of Memmingen. For example the “7 emblems”
One of the most popular myth is the story about the “Memminger Mau”
“Mau” is the traditional speech for the moon.

An this moon is the front of the coin.

Front:     Face of the „Memminger Mau“
Back:     city arms, ornaments on the recessed metal with transparent enamel. On the edge the 7 emblems.
