Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1646 Free Imperial City of Frankfurt 1 Ducat coin is that it features the image of a mythical creature called the "Frankfurt Griffin" on its reverse side. The Griffin is depicted standing on its hind legs, with its wings spread wide and a crown on its head. This symbol was used as the coat of arms of the city of Frankfurt and represents the city's power and strength.
