[QUOTE="benhur767, post: 2965688, member: 36818"]Thank you so much for discussing the history of the area to give my coin some context. If you don't mind I'm going to copy/paste it and add it to the information I have about the coin. Your coins are beautiful. I find it interesting how the iconography changed so dramatically over time, so that the later coins of Frankfurt (18th and 19th centuries) show various "bird's-eye" views of the city. Almost as if they're promoting the city as a nice place to live or visit or do business with. I was able to attribute my coin and describe it relatively accurately based on a website I found a while back that was basically a catalog of the different free German city coins. If I can find it again I'll post the link. I think that this would be a cool collecting area. Especially if I was from Germany and had a more personal connection to them. Anyway, it's fascinating and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and your coins. Mike (benhur767)[/QUOTE]
