Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 English (Klippe) 1601 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "S" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Frankfurt" and "Stadt" (German for "city"). This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted in Frankfurt, a prominent trading center and financial hub in the German States during the 17th century.
