Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1838, just a few years after the formation of the German Customs Union (Zollverein) in 1834, which aimed to create a unified economic zone across the German states. The coin's mintage was also a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the German states, as prior to this, each state had its own unique currency. The ½ Gulden coin was one of the first standardized coins to be widely accepted across the German states, and it played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during this time of economic growth and change.
