Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern ¾ Ducat (Silver pattern strike; Coronation) 1745 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of Emperor Francis I, while the reverse features a crowned eagle with the Frankfurt coat of arms. This design was created specifically for the coronation of Francis I as Holy Roman Emperor and was only used on a limited number of coins, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
