Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political change in Germany. The Constitutional Convention mentioned on the coin refers to the Frankfurt Parliament, which was a short-lived parliamentary assembly that met in Frankfurt in 1848-1849 with the aim of creating a unified German state. This coin was minted during a time of great uncertainty and change, and it serves as a reminder of the complex history of Germany in the 19th century.
