Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1612 Coronation Ducat from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Matthias, who was crowned on June 24, 1612. The coin features an image of the emperor on one side and the Frankfurt coat of arms on the other. The coin's design was created by the renowned artist and engraver, Johann Salomon Hess.
