Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1710-1711 Free Imperial City of Frankfurt 1 Ducat (Sturmdukat) gold coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political significance for the city. Frankfurt was a key trading center and financial hub in the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin's issuance was likely a response to the growing demand for a reliable and stable currency for trade and commerce. The coin's gold content and high purity level (.986) would have made it a valuable and trusted form of currency, and its weight of 3.5 grams would have been consistent with other coins of similar value at the time.
