Comment
Krause groups under the same KM#1559 two types that are obviously different (portraits and legends).The years 1720 and 1721 attributed to the early type are uncertain.
Research at Auktionshaus Rauch allowed to add 4 years referenced neither in Krause not in Herinek.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles VI (Vienna) 1722-1740 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Austrian Empire. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by Charles VI, who was trying to stabilize the empire's economy after years of inflation and financial instability. The coin's gold content and intricate design made it a symbol of the empire's wealth and power, and it was widely used in trade and commerce throughout Europe.
