Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Ducat 1750 from Free city of Augsburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I, who was instrumental in the development of the Austrian Empire and the spread of Enlightenment ideas across Europe. The coin's design, which features the image of the Holy Roman Emperor on one side and the Augsburg city coat of arms on the other, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of gold (.986) and weighs 1.74g, indicates that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin during its time.
