Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) is that it 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, and was also dealing with the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War, which had devastated much of Germany. Despite these challenges, the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt remained a prosperous and influential center of trade and commerce, and the 1 Kreuzer coin was an important part of the city's economy.
