Comment
Mintmaster IIF - Johann Jeremias FreytagInteresting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt, minted in 1694, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure its value and authenticity, reflecting the importance of trade and commerce in the region during that period. Additionally, the coin's design features the coat of arms of Frankfurt, which includes the Imperial Eagle and the city's patron saint, St. Bartholomew, highlighting the city's connection to the Holy Roman Empire and its rich history.
