Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Kreuzers (Gold pattern strike) 1843 from 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 issued during the era of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. The Confederation was formed after the Napoleonic Wars, and its currency, the Vereinsthaler, was introduced in 1857. However, the Frankfurt Mint continued to produce coins in the old currency, such as the Kreuzers, until 1866. This coin, with its unique gold content and pattern, serves as a reminder of the complex currency system that existed in Germany during this time.
