Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from County of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Virneburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Louis, who was the Count of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Virneburg from 1767 to 1774. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and the German states were in the process of forming their own confederation. This coin, made of gold and weighing 3.5 grams, was likely used as a means of exchange and store of value during this time of transition.
