Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Ducat was minted in 1818 as a trial strike, and only 15 examples were produced. This makes it an extremely rare and valuable coin among collectors. In fact, it's considered one of the rarest and most valuable coins in the entire German States series. (Source: "The German States: A Guide to the Coinage of the German States" by D. M. Bullowa)
