Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles Alexander of Lothringen 1765 coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) and the subsequent Wars of the Bavarian Succession (1777-1785). Despite the conflicts, the Teutonic Order was able to maintain its independence and continue minting coins, such as this one, which features Charles Alexander of Lothringen, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order from 1761 to 1780.
