Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Charles VII in 1742, which was a significant event in the history of the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design features an image of the emperor on one side and the Frankfurt coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the city's allegiance to the empire. The use of gold and the relatively high weight of the coin also reflect the importance of the event and the city's prosperity at the time.
