Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Albus 1637-1655 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.65 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the Holy Roman Empire was in decline, leading to the rise of independent city-states like Frankfurt. This coin may have been used in trade and commerce within the city and its surrounding regions, and its design may have been influenced by the political and cultural climate of the time.
