Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin featuring Francis Louis of Pfalz-Neuburg is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the German States. The coin was issued in 1699, just a year after the end of the Nine Years' War, which had devastated much of Europe and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Teutonic Order was able to maintain its influence and power, and the coin remains a testament to the organization's enduring legacy.
