Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat - Ferdinand Maria (Birth of Princess Louise - Silver Pattern) 1663 from Electorate of Bavaria (German States) is that it features a unique design that was only used for a short period of time. The coin was minted to commemorate the birth of Princess Louise, the daughter of Elector Ferdinand Maria, and it showcases a portrait of the princess on one side and the Elector's coat of arms on the other. The coin's design was later changed, making this particular version a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
