Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1620 2 Thalers coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt 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 state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the design was meant to symbolize the city's autonomy and pride in its heritage.
