Interesting fact

The ⅓ Thaler coin from Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver was minted during a time when the city was an important center of trade and commerce in Europe. Frankfurt was a key location for the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading federation that connected cities across Northern Europe and facilitated the exchange of goods and ideas. The coin's design, which features the city's coat of arms and other symbols of its wealth and status, reflects Frankfurt's prosperity and influence during this time.
