Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the Principality of Oettingen-Oettingen, minted during the reign of Albert Ernest II (1683-1731), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the principality, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was a common motif in coins of the German States during that time period, symbolizing the unity and power of the region.
