Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1778 1 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "I" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Frankfurt Imperii" (Frankfurt of the Empire). This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that Frankfurt was a free imperial city, with its own coat of arms and independence within the Holy Roman Empire.
