Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1795 Frederick Charles Joseph of Erthal 1 Ducat coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social upheaval in Europe. The French Revolution, which began in 1789, had a ripple effect across the continent, leading to the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and the rise of new nation-states. Despite this turmoil, the Archbishopric of Mainz continued to mint coins, including the 1 Ducat, which remained a stable store of value and a symbol of the region's economic and cultural significance.
