Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen Tournois coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, who ruled from 1658 to 1705. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges from the growing power of neighboring nations such as France and Sweden, and the coinage of the empire was heavily debased due to the high cost of wars and military campaigns. Despite these challenges, the 1 Groschen Tournois coin remained a widely used denomination in the German States and was an important symbol of the economic and political power of the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt.
