Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Vereinsthaler coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1860, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which marked the beginning of a unified German state. The coin's design, featuring the Frankfurt coat of arms and the German eagle, reflects the city's pride in its history and its place within the German states. Despite being minted over 150 years ago, this coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
