Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Gulden coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it features a unique "mule" design, which is a combination of the obverse (front) die of one coin and the reverse (back) die of another coin. This was done intentionally to create a one-of-a-kind pattern coin, making it highly sought after by collectors.
