Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1764 1½ Ducat (Coronation) coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Joseph II, who was crowned King of the Romans in 1764. The coin's design features an image of the emperor on one side and the Frankfurt coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the city's loyalty to the emperor and the Holy Roman Empire.
