Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver weighing 6.6g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1776, just a few years before the outbreak of the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the European monetary system. The coin's silver content and its status as a standard circulation coin reflect the efforts of the Frankfurt mint to maintain the integrity of its currency during this period of upheaval.
