Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat 1608-1610 from Joint coinage of Hohenlohe (German States) is that it features a unique combination of two coats of arms on its reverse side. The first coat of arms belongs to the Hohenlohe family, while the second coat of arms represents the Wettin dynasty, which was a powerful noble family in Germany during the Renaissance period. This combination of coats of arms symbolizes the political alliance between the two families and highlights the significance of their joint coinage.
