| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within a beaded inner circle, the crowned Frankfurt eagle displayed at center, superimposed upon an ornate cross whose four arms each contain two arched compartments decorated with fleurs-de-lis. The cross divides the field into four angles, each angle bearing two lily ornaments within the arched segments. The entire composition is executed in the bold, flat relief characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century German hammered coinage. The Latin legend encircles the design between the inner and outer borders. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frankfurt struck thalers in its own name as a Free Imperial City — answerable to the Emperor but not to any territorial prince — a status that gave its mint the right to produce full-weight imperial coinage independently. The 1572 issue falls squarely within the period when Frankfurt was consolidating its reputation as a financial center, its trade fairs drawing merchants and capital from across the Holy Roman Empire. That commercial gravity made a credible, locally struck thaler a matter of civic and practical necessity.
The Dav GT I#9185 attribution places this within the broader Guldentaler sequence. Cross-reference with JuF#236 confirms the specific Frankfurt municipal issue rather than any imperial or regional imitation.
