Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Gulden (Constitutional Convention - Mule) 1848 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) is that it features a unique combination of designs from two different coinage systems. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the coat of arms of the Free City of Frankfurt, while the reverse (back) side features the German imperial eagle, which was used on coins issued by the German Confederation. This blending of designs is known as a "mule" and is highly sought after by collectors due to its rarity.
