Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles William Ferdinand (Harz Ausbeute) coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The coin was issued in 1781, just a few years after the Principality had been devastated by a major famine, and at a time when the country was facing significant economic challenges. Despite these challenges, the coin was made of gold (.986) and weighed 3.48 grams, indicating the value and importance placed on it by the ruling dynasty.
