Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1809 Charles Theodore of Dalberg 1 Ducat coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The Confederation of the Rhine, which was a loose alliance of German states, was formed in 1806 and lasted until 1813. During this time, many German states, including the Duchy of Dalberg, issued their own coins, including the 1 Ducat coin featuring Charles Theodore. This coin is a rare and valuable example of the currency used during this brief but significant period in European history.
