Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Francis Joseph I 1868-1869 coin from Hungary is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph I, who ruled the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1848 to 1916.

Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Francis Joseph I, reflecting the complex political landscape of the time.
