Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Francis I in 1745, 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 coat of arms of the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt on the other, symbolizing the city's allegiance to the empire. The use of gold in the coin's minting also reflects the importance and value placed on the event.
