Comment
Coin struck from gold found in the river Inn.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles Theodore (Inngold-Dukat) 1779-1793 from Electorate of Bavaria (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Theodore, who was the Elector of Bavaria and a member of the House of Wittelsbach. During his reign, Charles Theodore implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the Bavarian economy and government, including the introduction of a new currency system. The 1 Ducat coin was part of this new currency system and was intended to be used as a standardized unit of exchange throughout the Electorate of Bavaria. Despite the political and economic changes taking place during this time, the 1 Ducat coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and it continues to be a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
