Message:: [QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1272201, member: 6229"]Ready to resume our quest of viewing some of Europe's nicest silver coins produced by the 1,800 German Free States in existence before 1871?　Our long journey brings us to the alphabetical highway sign "F" and points the way to Franfurt am Main. Frankfurt was one of the most important cities in the Holy Roman Empire. From 855 German Kings and Emperors were elected in Frankfurt and crowned in Aachen. From 1562 the kings/emperors were also crowned in Frankfurt, Maximillion II being the first. This tradition ended in 1792, when Franz II was elected. His coronation was deliberately held on Bastille Day, July 14, the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. The elections and coronations took place in St. Bartholomäus Cathedral, known as the Kaiserdom (en: Emperor's Cathedral), or in one of its predecessors.　　Where in Germany is Frankfurt am Main located?
