Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat - Frederick II (Silver pattern) 1740 from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great, while the reverse features a crowned eagle with the Prussian coat of arms. This design was created as a pattern for a new coinage system that was never implemented, making the coin a rare and valuable collector's item.
