Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1572 Free Imperial City of Frankfurt 2 Thalers coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.P.Q.F." (Senatus Populusque Francofurtanus) which represents the coat of arms of the city of Frankfurt. This coin was minted during a time when the city was an independent imperial city within the Holy Roman Empire, and the design element serves as a symbol of the city's autonomy and pride.
