Comment
Novák XVI-E-11a, Horsky 3244Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1790 ¾ Ducat (Coronation) coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Leopold II, who was crowned on September 9, 1790. The coin features an image of the emperor on one side and the Frankfurt coat of arms on the other. The coin's design was created by the artist Johann Christian Bauer, who was a prominent medalist and engraver of the time. Despite its age, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
