Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles Theodore of Dalberg 1809 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 association of German states, was formed in 1806 and lasted until 1813. During this time, many German states, including the Duchy of Baden, where Charles Theodore ruled, were under French influence and adopted many French customs and institutions. This coin, which features Charles Theodore's portrait and the inscription "Ducatus Rheni" (Duchy of the Rhine), is a tangible reminder of this period of history.
