| Beschrijving keerzijde | Crowned imperial double-headed eagle displayed in full, with spread wings, occupying the central field. On the breast of the eagle, an orb bears the Roman numeral 'Z' (denoting the value of 2 Kreuzer). The surrounding legend contains the imperial titles of Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor, in abbreviated Latin form. The eagle's bold rendering is characteristic of mid-16th century Germanic hammered coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frankfurt's status as a Free Imperial City gave its mint the right to strike coinage independently of any territorial prince, a privilege jealously guarded and periodically challenged by neighboring powers throughout the sixteenth century. The years bracketing this issue saw the city navigating the religious tensions of the early Reformation while maintaining its commercial dominance as host to the imperial elections and the great trade fairs.
MB#41 / JuF#240 places this squarely among Frankfurt's smaller silver fractions — workhorses of the fair economy, handling the transactions that larger denominations could not.
