Comment
Pooled erroneoulsy by Krause with years 1787 and 1788 that are another type (different arms).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Hieronymus von Colloredo 1789-1803 coin from the Bishopric of Salzburg (Austrian States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the late 18th century, a period marked by the Enlightenment and the rise of capitalism, which led to increased trade and commerce across the continent. The coin's gold content (.986) and weight (3.5g) reflect the value and importance of gold during this time, and its design features images of religious figures and symbols, highlighting the influence of the Catholic Church in the region. Despite the changes and challenges of the time, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and its beauty and rarity make it a highly sought-after collector's item today.
