Comment
Variations for the portrait and the reverse punctuation.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Franz Anton von Harrach 1710-1726 coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian 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 Emperor Charles VI, who was trying to centralize power and create a more efficient administration in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency that could be used across the empire, and it features the image of Franz Anton von Harrach, the Bishop of Salzburg, who played an important role in the region's political and religious affairs. Despite being minted over 300 years ago, this coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
