Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1619 Frankfurt Ducat is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.F." (Senatus Populusque Francofurtanus) which represents the coat of arms of the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt. This coin was minted during a time when Frankfurt was an independent city-state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the shield symbolizes the city's autonomy and independence.
