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 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 mintage was also a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the German states, which had previously used a variety of different currencies.
