Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1792 1¼ Ducat (Coronation) coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Francis II, who was crowned on July 9, 1792. 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 artist Johann Christian Reichard, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
