Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Gulden 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 introduced in 1845, just a few years after the German Customs Union was formed, which aimed to create a unified economic zone across the various German states. The coin's design, featuring the Frankfurt coat of arms and the German eagle, symbolized the city's connection to the larger German state. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a nod to the long history of silver mining in the region. Overall, this coin represents a unique moment in German history and serves as a reminder of the complex political and economic forces that shaped the country's development.
