Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "S" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Frankfurt am Main" and "Sachsen" (Saxony) respectively. This indicates that the coin was minted during a time when Frankfurt was part of the Saxon Circle, a political and military alliance of territories within the Holy Roman Empire.
