Comment
Copying the style of Brabant sterling coins.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 English ND from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.98 g is that it was minted during the time of the Holy Roman Empire, which was a political entity that existed in Central Europe from the 10th to the 19th century. The coin's design and minting were likely overseen by the Imperial Mint, which was responsible for producing currency for the Empire. Despite being made of silver, the coin's value was not necessarily tied to the value of the metal, but rather to the authority and credit of the issuing authority, which in this case was the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt.
