Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler (Konventionstaler) coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in the mid-18th century, a period marked by the rise of trade and commerce, as well as the decline of feudalism and the rise of modern nation-states. The coin's silver content and intricate design reflect the growing importance of trade and commerce in the region, and the need for a standardized form of currency that could be used across different territories.
