Interesting fact
The 2 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II, who was a member of the House of Habsburg and ruled from 1564 to 1576. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was facing challenges from the Protestant Reformation and the rise of nationalism, which would eventually lead to the Thirty Years' War. Despite these challenges, the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt remained a prosperous and influential center of trade and commerce, and the 2 Kreuzer coin was an important part of the city's economy.
