Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Ferdinand V 1837-1848 from Hungary is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1837, just a few years after the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, which aimed to establish Hungary as an independent state from the Austrian Empire.

This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political changes that were taking place in Hungary during that time.
