Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Ducat - Frederick I (Marriage) 1706-1712 coin is that it was minted to commemorate the marriage of Frederick I, the first king of Prussia, to Sophie Charlotte of Hanover in 1706. The coin features an image of the couple on the obverse side, with the reverse side bearing the Prussian coat of arms and the denomination. The use of gold for the coin's composition and the relatively low weight of 1.74 grams make it a valuable and collectible piece for numismatists.
