Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt 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. Despite these challenges, the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt remained a significant center of trade and commerce, and the 1 Kreuzer coin played an important role in facilitating economic transactions within the city and beyond.
