Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1764 Coronation Ducat from the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Emperor Joseph II, who was crowned King of the Romans in 1764. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Joseph II, while the reverse depicts the Imperial Eagle and the coat of arms of the Free Imperial City of Frankfurt. The coin's gold content and small weight make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
