Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Frederick III 1752 coin from Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it features an image of the Duke Frederick III on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. This coin was minted during a time when the Duchy was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire, and it is a rare and valuable example of a gold coin from this era.
