Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat - Francis Josias (Silver pattern strike; Death of Christian Ernest) ND (1745) from Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other coin. The obverse of the coin depicts Francis Josias, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, while the reverse shows an image of Christian Ernest, the previous Duke, who had passed away in 1745. This coin was minted as a pattern strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. Its rarity and unique design make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
