Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler 1694 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "S" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Frankfurt" and "Sachsen" (Saxony) respectively. This indicates that the coin was minted during a time when Frankfurt was part of the Saxon Circle, a political and military alliance of territories in the Holy Roman Empire.
