Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Kreuzer 1765 coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F" and "S" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Frankfurt Stadt" (Frankfurt City). This shield was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was issued by the city of Frankfurt, rather than by a different entity or authority. This small detail highlights the coin's historical significance and the importance of the city of Frankfurt in the German States during that time period.
