Comment
Restrike 1985 see ReferenceInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Vereinsthaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the era of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. The Confederation was formed after the Napoleonic Wars, and its member states were seeking to maintain their independence and economic stability in the face of growing nationalism and economic competition. The Vereinsthaler coin was one of the few coins that were widely accepted across different German states during this time, reflecting the need for a standardized currency that could facilitate trade and commerce across the region.
