Comment
Km wrongly lists this coin as Austrian States COLLOREDO-MANSFELD, this coins was minted under Franz Gundacar by Mansfeld-Bornstedt.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Francis Gundacar 1792 coin from County of Mansfeld-Bornstedt (German States) 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 Gundacar, who was the Count of Mansfeld-Bornstedt from 1780 until his death in 1802. During this time, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and many German states, including Mansfeld-Bornstedt, began to mint their own coins. The 1 Ducat coin was likely used for trade and commerce within the region and may have been used to purchase goods such as textiles, food, or other luxury items. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
