One interesting fact about the Groschen Tournois - Charles IV (Frankfurt) ND (1346-1355) coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles IV, who was the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia. This coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during his rule, and its design features the emperor's name and title on one side, and the coat of arms of Frankfurt on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting process also signifies the value and importance of the coin during that time period.
