Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin featuring Frederick August III is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1791, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the political landscape of Europe. Additionally, the coin was minted during the Enlightenment, a period of increased intellectual and cultural exchange, which likely influenced the design and production of the coin.
