Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1764 Konventionstaler from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Francis I, who was instrumental in the development of the Konventikel, a series of conferences that aimed to standardize coinage across the German states. This standardization effort helped to facilitate trade and commerce across the region, and the Konventionstaler became an important currency in the German states during this time.
