Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen Tournois coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "S" on either side, which stands for "Frankfurt am Main" and "Sankt Bartholomäus" (St. Bartholomew), the patron saint of the city. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of Frankfurt, adding an extra layer of detail and meaning to the coin's design.
