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 1838, just a few years after the formation of the German Customs Union (Zollverein) in 1834, which aimed to create a unified economic zone across the German states. The coin's design, featuring the Frankfurt coat of arms and the German inscription "EIN GULDE," reflects the city's pride in its status as a free imperial city and its connection to the broader German state. Despite the political and economic changes of the time, the coin remained in circulation until 1841, when it was replaced by a new coinage system.
