Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1612 Goldgulden (Coronation) coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Matthias, who was crowned on June 23, 1612, in Frankfurt. The coin features an image of the emperor on one side and the Frankfurt coat of arms on the other. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of gold, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time, reflect the significance of the event and the city's pride in hosting the coronation.
