Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Francis I, who was instrumental in the development of the Austrian Empire and its economy. The coin's design features the Imperial Eagle on one side and the Frankfurt coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the city's status as a free imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire. The use of silver in the coin's minting also reflects the value placed on this precious metal during this time period.
