Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Adolph of Dalberg 1726-1730 from Abbey of Fulda (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Adolph of Dalberg, who was the Prince-Abbot of Fulda from 1726 to 1730. During this period, the Abbey of Fulda was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin was used as a means of exchange and commerce within the region. The fact that it was made of gold (.986) and weighed 3.5 grams suggests that it was a valuable and highly sought-after coin during its time.
