Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Württemberg, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on the 1732-1733 issue was a deliberate choice made by the mint to signify the importance of the Württemberg dynasty and their rule over the region. This small detail adds a touch of historical significance to the coin and makes it stand out among other coins of the time.
