Comment
Krause incorrectly gives the denomination as 1/4 HALIBAC. The final letter on the coin (and in JuF) is a G.Interesting fact
The A Token ¼ Halbag (Judenpfennig) 1818 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.15 g is an interesting coin because it was used as a form of currency in the Jewish community of Frankfurt during the 19th century. The coin was minted in 1818 and was equivalent to a quarter of a Halbag, which was the local currency used by the Jewish community. The coin was made of copper and weighed 1.15 grams. It is an interesting piece of history that highlights the unique cultural and economic practices of the Jewish community in Frankfurt during that time.
