He was given the opportunity as a young partner in the ownership of the bank. After he returned to his birthplace in Frankfurt, he bought back his father's business has been built since 1750.

When Rothschild know in general who is now assigned to the palace Prince Wilhelm von Hanau has a hobby of collecting kinds of rare coins, without a second thought he took advantage of the situation completely. With the present road types of rare coins at low prices he opened the door of friendship with the general and diverse courtier in the palace of the prince. One day he was introduced directly to Prince Wilhelm personally.


The Prince bought a pile of medals and rare coins from him. This event is the first transaction between a Rothschild with a head of a state. Within a reasonable time Rothschild has developed its business with other princes. Rothschild tried another tactic to ensure his connections with the local prince.
