Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Gulden coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1859, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which marked the beginning of a unified German state. The coin's design, featuring the imperial eagle and the coat of arms of Frankfurt, reflects the city's status as a free imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire. Despite its historical significance, the coin was only minted for a brief period of three years, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
