Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt, minted in 1791, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the late 18th century, a period of Enlightenment and Revolution, when many European countries were undergoing significant political and economic reforms. The coin's silver content and its issuance by a free imperial city like Frankfurt, which had a certain level of autonomy within the Holy Roman Empire, make it a unique and interesting piece of history.
