Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin was used as a means of payment in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was equivalent to 1/4 of a gold forint. It was made of 0.986 gold, which is 98.6% pure gold, and weighed 3.5 grams. The coin was designed by the Hungarian engraver, János Pásztor, and features an image of Charles III on one side and the Hungarian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1732 and was used until the early 20th century. It's an interesting piece of history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
