Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the late 18th century, a period marked by the rise of capitalism and the decline of feudalism. The Free Imperial City of Frankfurt was a significant financial center during this time, and the 1 Kreuzer coin was an important part of the city's economy. The coin's design, which features the Imperial Eagle on one side and the Frankfurt coat of arms on the other, reflects the city's status as a free imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire.
