Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Bavaria, issued during the reign of Albert V (1550-1579), features an interesting design element - a unique coat of arms on the reverse side. The coat of arms depicts a shield with the Bavarian lozenges (diamond-shaped charges) and a crowned lion, symbolizing the unity of the Bavarian territories under the rule of the Wittelsbach dynasty. This design was specifically used during Albert V's reign and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
