Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Frederick August I (Coronation) 1697 coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Frederick August I as the King of Poland, which took place on February 15, 1697. The coin features an image of Frederick August I on one side and the coat of arms of the Electorate of Saxony on the other. The coin was minted in a very limited quantity, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
