<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 747521, member: 8959&quot;]Nice coin Regandon, and also a concise and interesting history of the city. </p><p>The area of what is now Frankfurt site was settled by the romans in the the 1st century a.d, primarily in the area which is now called Frankfurt-Nidda, and Frankfurt-Hoechst, on the shores of the river Main. The roman name is not precisely known, but it may have been Civitas Taunemsium. An ancient city with lots of history, as you say, birthplace of the brief spark of freedom and longing for true democracy known as the 1848 revolution. It was mercilessly put down by the ruling nobles, causing an exodus toward America for those who longed to be free.&nbsp; </p><p>Today the city is perhaps best known for its innumerable banks (and seat of the European Central Bank), a city which the Frankfurters refer to as &#039;Mainhattan&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>another very appealing Frankfurt coin is is &#039;City View&#039; doppeltaler. It shows the main bridge over the river main, and was minted from 1840-1844. Maybe that will be your next taler purchase?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
