| Aanvullende informatie |
Frankfurt's role as the traditional coronation city of the Holy Roman Empire meant the Free City issued pattern and presentation pieces for virtually every imperial election held there. The 1742 coronation was that of Karl VII — the only Wittelsbach emperor in over three centuries, interrupting the Habsburg stranglehold on the imperial title during the War of Austrian Succession. His election was itself a political rupture, backed by France and bitterly contested by Maria Theresa.
This silver pattern on a ducat die is precisely the kind of prestige strike Frankfurt's mint produced for distribution to dignitaries rather than circulation. Förschner 247.2 distinguishes it from the gold issue by die state, not merely metal.
