Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1762 Free Imperial City of Frankfurt 1 Ducat coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "S" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Frankfurt am Main" and "Souveräne" (sovereign) respectively. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the city's status as a free imperial city, which gave it a certain level of autonomy and independence within the Holy Roman Empire.
