Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Leopold I in 1658, which was a significant event in 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 loyalty to the emperor and the empire.
