| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a single-headed eagle of Frankfurt, crowned, with wings displayed and detailed plumage, centered in the field. The eagle's talons grip decorative foliate elements, consistent with the Frankfurt civic arms tradition. The surrounding legend reads BERATHUNG Ü. GRÜNDUNG E. DEUTSCHEN PARLAMENTS 31. MÄRZ 1848, referencing the deliberations toward the foundation of a German parliament on 31 March 1848. The design is enclosed within a toothed border, and the high-relief strike reflects the medallic craftsmanship typical of mid-19th century German pattern coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frankfurt's 1848 Constitutional Convention was the Frankfurt Parliament — the first freely elected German national assembly, convening at St. Paul's Church in an attempt to unify the German states under a liberal constitutional monarchy. It failed. Prussian and Austrian resistance gutted the project, and by 1849 the parliament had collapsed without producing a lasting state. This gold pattern was struck in that window of optimism, before the political unraveling made the entire denomination moot.
As a Probe (pattern), it never entered circulation. The .900 gold striking at more than 21 grams places it firmly in presentation or trial territory — produced to demonstrate what could have been official coinage of a unified German nation that never materialized.
