Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Francis Joseph I 1866 coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the Austrian Empire. The coin was minted in 1866, just a year after the Austro-Prussian War, which saw the empire defeated by Prussia and led to the creation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Despite this turmoil, the coin still bears the image of Francis Joseph I, who ruled the empire from 1848 until his death in 1916. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Europe during this time period.
