Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1804 Württemberg 1 Ducat coin is that it features an image of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, who was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. He was a highly influential leader who modernized the Prussian army and implemented various reforms that helped to strengthen the country's economy and culture. The coin was minted to commemorate his visit to the Württemberg Mint in 1804, and its design was likely meant to honor his legacy and influence in the region.
