KREUZER
1866
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzer coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1866, just a few years before the founding of the German Empire in 1871, which unified the various German states under a single government. The coin's mintage was a result of the Frankfurt's membership in the German Customs Union, which aimed to standardize currency and trade practices across the different German states. This coin, therefore, represents a significant moment in German history, as it symbolizes the transition towards a more unified and modern nation.
