Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Frederick I 1737 from Landgraviate of Hesse-Cassel (Hesse-Cassel) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1737, which was just a few years before the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, a conflict that would have a profound impact on the European continent and its economy. Despite this, the coin still maintains its value and rarity, making it a highly sought-after collector's item for numismatists today.
