Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Ferdinand I (Hall) 1525 coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the Austrian Empire. The coin was minted in 1525, just a few years after the death of Maximilian I, who had ruled the empire for over 40 years. This period saw a lot of political and economic upheaval, including the Protestant Reformation and the rise of the Ottoman Empire. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item for numismatists today.
