Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.85g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period marked by the rise of capitalism, the Enlightenment, and the French Revolution. The coin's design, featuring 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. Despite its small denomination, the coin played an important role in the local economy and was used in everyday transactions. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians interested in the economic and political history of Europe during this time period.
