Frankfurt's 6 Albus issues of the 1690s were struck under the city's own minting authority, which it jealously guarded as a marker of its independence within the Holy Roman Empire. The Albus was a regional denomination with deep Rhenish roots, and Frankfurt's use of it placed the city squarely within the monetary conventions of the middle Rhine — practical politics as much as economics. JuF#576h distinguishes a specific die state or variant within what is otherwise a modestly differentiated series, and collectors working the full JuF sequence will find the 1693 date among the more elusive.
