<p>[QUOTE=&quot;regandon, post: 747412, member: 17232&quot;]<span style="color: black">Frankfurt was a Free City in Germany and is also known as Frankfurt am Main. It is located on the bank of the Main River. The writing on the reverse of the coin has the name of Archduke Johann of Austria. In 1848, the <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/wiki/Frankfurt_National_Assembly" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/wiki/Frankfurt_National_Assembly"><span style="color: black">Frankfurt National Assembly</span></a> appointed him <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/wiki/Regent" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/wiki/Regent"><span style="color: black">regent</span></a> of the realm. After the failure of the <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/wiki/The_Revolutions_of_1848_in_the_German_states" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/wiki/The_Revolutions_of_1848_in_the_German_states"><span style="color: black">March Revolution of 1848</span></a>, he resigned from this office in 1849. </span></p><p><span style="color: black">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="color: black">As to the Two Headed Eagle</span></p><p><span style="color: black">It was used by the Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. Most of the Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire were exclusive Habsburg possessions. This meant that King of Rome or King of the Romans in turn effectively became the designation of the Habsburg heir-apparent. Seeing how an Archduke of Austria was appointed regent, and the son of Leopold II Holy Roman Emperor (1790’s) why not use the Two Headed Eagle of the Holy Roman Emperor. Also, the coronations of the Holy Roman Emperors were held in Frankfurt.</span></p><p><span style="color: black">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="color: black">Click on the underlined Frankfurt National Assembly and the other underlines, to get more info. on the 1848 Revolution.</span></p><p><span style="color: black">Picture is of the Banner of the Holy Roman Emperors</span></p><p><span style="color: black"></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
