Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1658 Coronation Ducat from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Emperor Leopold I, while the reverse side shows an image of the Imperial Eagle, which was a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire. This design was specifically chosen to commemorate the coronation of Leopold I as the Holy Roman Emperor, and it makes the coin a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
