Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Leopold II in 1790, which was a significant event in the history of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design features an image of the emperor on one side and the Frankfurt coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the city's allegiance to the empire. Additionally, the coin's gold content and weight make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
