Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, who was also the King of Hungary and Bohemia. The coin's mintage was a result of the Vienna Monetary Convention, which aimed to standardize currency across the German states and create a uniform system of coinage. This coin, made of gold (.986) and weighing 3.49g, was a significant departure from the previous currency used in Frankfurt, which was based on the silver standard. The introduction of the gold standard with this coin marked a turning point in the city's economic history and paved the way for Frankfurt's growth as a major financial center in Europe.
