Interesting fact

The 1 Ducat coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingfürst (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 3.47 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Charles Albert, who was the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg from 1776 to 1780. This coin is a rare example of a gold coin minted during this time period, and its high gold content makes it a valuable collector's item.
