Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1742 Coronation Ducat from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Charles VII, who was crowned on February 12, 1742. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Charles VII, while the reverse depicts the Imperial Eagle and the coat of arms of Frankfurt. The coin's gold content and weight make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
