Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Ducat coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Frederick, who was the Duke of Württemberg from 1738 to 1744. This coin was a standard circulation coin made of gold (.986) and weighed 1.75 grams. It's fascinating to think that a coin this small and made of gold was used as everyday currency in the 18th century!
