Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Kreuzer 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 1846, just a few years before the Frankfurt Parliament, which was a short-lived attempt at establishing a unified German government. 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 the political changes taking place during this time, the coin remained in circulation until 1856, when it was replaced by the Prussian Vereinsthaler.
