Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat 1851-1853 from Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the era of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. The Confederation was formed after the Napoleonic Wars, and its member states were seeking to maintain their independence and economic stability in the face of growing nationalism and liberalism. The 1 Ducat coin, made of gold and weighing 3.49 grams, was a symbol of the city of Hamburg's prosperity and economic power during this time.
