Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1803 Württemberg 1 Ducat coin is that it features a portrait 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, earning him a place in history as one of the greatest rulers of all time. The coin's design was created by the artist Johann Ludwig Storch, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
