Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat 1868-1872 from Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the period of the German Confederation, which was 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 minted during this time as a standardized currency for the German states, and it features the coat of arms of Hamburg on one side and the value and mintage date on the other. Despite its historical significance, the coin is not particularly rare or valuable, and it can be found in many coin collections and online marketplaces.
