Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat - Charles (Silver pattern strike) 1811 from Principality of Isenburg (Isenburg, German States) made of Silver weighing 4.4 g is that it features a unique design, showcasing the coat of arms of the Principality of Isenburg on one side and a portrait of Charles, the ruling prince, on the other. This coin was minted as a pattern strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather served as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
