Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat 1854-1867 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 purpose was to provide a unified front against external threats and to promote economic cooperation among its member states. The 1 Ducat coin was used as a means of payment and exchange during this time, and its value was based on the gold standard, which was widely used in Europe during the 19th century. Despite the challenges faced by the German Confederation during this period, the 1 Ducat coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
