Comment
Klein 120, Slg. Hermann 563Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Francis Conrad of Rodt 1761 from Bishopric of Constance (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Francis Conrad of Rodt, who was the Prince-Bishop of Constance from 1750 to 1763. During his reign, the Bishopric of Constance was facing financial difficulties, and the minting of this coin was likely a way for the government to generate revenue and stabilize the economy. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today, with its gold content and historical significance making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
