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 of the coat of arms, which stands for "Frankfurt am Main" and "Sankt Bartholomäus" (St. Bartholomew), the patron saint of the city. This shield was added to the coin's design to signify the city's independence and sovereignty.
