Interesting fact
The "Judenpfennig" coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt, made of copper in 1703, is a rare and valuable artifact that represents a significant part of Jewish history. It is interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time when Jews were not allowed to hold public office or engage in certain professions, and yet, it features an image of a Jewish man on one side and the Frankfurt coat of arms on the other. This coin serves as a symbol of the resilience and perseverance of the Jewish community in Frankfurt during a time of great adversity.
