One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles Eugen (Wedding) 1749 coin is that it was minted to commemorate the wedding of Charles Eugene, Duke of Württemberg, to Elisabeth Friederike Sophie von Brandenburg-Bayreuth in 1749. The coin's design features an image of the couple on the obverse side, surrounded by an ornate border and the inscription "CONJVGIO ET FELICITAS" (Union and Happiness).
