Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The French Revolution, which began in 1789, had a significant impact on the German states, including the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt, where this coin was minted. The coin's design, which features an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Francis II, may have been seen as a symbol of resistance to the revolutionary ideas spreading across Europe at the time.
