Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1745 Free Imperial City of Frankfurt 1 Ducat coin is that it was minted to commemorate the election of a new emperor, Charles VII, who was chosen to succeed the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles VI. This event was significant because it marked a turning point in the history of the Holy Roman Empire, as Charles VII was the first emperor to be elected through a formal process, rather than inheriting the throne through family ties. This coin is a tangible reminder of this important historical event and serves as a testament to the significance of the election process in shaping the course of European history.
