Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1572 Silver Thaler from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.F." (Senatus Populusque Francofurtanus) which represents the coat of arms of the city of Frankfurt. This coin was minted during a time when the city was an important center of trade and commerce in the Holy Roman Empire, and the shield symbolizes the city's independence and sovereignty.
