Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Charles VII in 1742, 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 loyalty to the emperor and its status as a free imperial city. The use of gold and the relatively high weight of 3.5 grams also reflect the importance of this coin as a symbol of wealth and power.
