Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Franz Anton von Harrach 1709-1726 coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Bishopric of Salzburg. The coin was issued during the reign of Franz Anton von Harrach, who was the Prince-Bishop of Salzburg from 1709 to 1726.

These reforms, combined with the coin's high gold content and elegant design, make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
