Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin was minted during the reign of Frederick I, who was the Grand Duke of Baden from 1852 until his death in 1856. The coin was part of a series of gold coins that were introduced during his reign to help stabilize the economy of the Grand Duchy. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not widely accepted outside of Baden, and its value was not consistent with other gold coins of the time. Today, the coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
