| Aanvullende informatie |
The Frederick d'Or had been Prussia's prestige gold coinage since Frederick the Great formalized the type in 1741, and by the time Frederick William IV's effigy appeared on it a century later, the denomination carried considerable dynastic weight. Frederick William IV himself was a deeply conservative monarch who rejected the Frankfurt Parliament's offer of a constitutional crown in 1849 — he famously refused to accept a crown "from the gutter." His coins, by contrast, circulated without controversy.
