Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ¾ Ducat (Silver pattern strike; Coronation) 1790 from Free imperial city of Frankfurt (German States) made of Silver 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 II, while the reverse features a crowned imperial eagle surrounded by a wreath. This design was created specifically for the coronation of Francis II as Holy Roman Emperor in 1790, and it was only used on a small number of pattern coins. As a result, the coin is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history.
