Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat - Frederick August I 1726 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued by the Electorate of Saxony, which was a powerful state in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing demand for currency during the early 18th century, as trade and commerce expanded across Europe. The fact that it was made of gold (.986) and weighs 0.87 g suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin during its time.
